Franciscan Monastery
The 14th century Franciscan church and monastery enclosed in the
walls of medieval Dubrovnik boasts one of the most beautiful
Romanesque cloisters in Dalmatia. Within the monastery complex is a
working pharmacy, which has been in business since 1317. A museum
houses relics from the original medieval pharmacy such as medical
books, instruments and weight scales, as well as some gilded church
relics. The massive library contains some 30,000 volumes with 1,500
handwritten documents.
