Konsert utenfor St. Blasius kirken
| The
present day church of St. Blasius was constructed by Venetian architect Marino Gropelli in in 1715 on the commission by the city authorities. The church was built on the place of an old Romanesque church from 1368 that was significantly damaged in the Great earthquake of 1667 and finally destroyed in the fire that struck it in 1706.

as the patron saint for a long time. According legend in the
year 971, on the night of 2nd to 3rd February Venetian ships
anchored in front of Dubrovnik under pretense of taking up
water and provision before proceeding further east. A priest
named Stojko walked up to the church of St Stephen
(Stjepan - Croatian) on Pustijerna (a part of the City) that
night.
He found that the doors of the church had been left wide
open. In the church he stumbled upon a gray old man with
a battalion of heavenly forces.
Venetians are planning to attack the City, and that he
was pushing them away of the City for several nights now.
When Stojko had asked him who he was, the old man replied
that he was Vlaho (Blasius).
Later Stojko had alarmed the City of the Venetian threat
and as the Venetians saw that the doors of the City had been
closed and that the walls were manned, they heaved up
their anchors and abandoned their plans of the surprise
attack on the City. Since that day St. Blasius became the
patron saint of Dubrovnik. (20. mars 2020)

Båttur til øya Lokrum
Lokrum (pronounced [lɔ̌krum], Italian: Lacroma) is an island
in the Adriatic Sea 600 metres (1,969 feet) from the city of
Dubrovnik, Croatia. It stretches from northwest to southeast
and receives regular ferry service from the city.
Austrian archduke (and short-lived Emperor of Mexico)
Maximilian once had a holiday home on the island.
A monastery and a botanical garden survive from his era. On
the island's highest point at 96 metres (315 feet) above sea
level stands Fort Royal Castle, which was built by the French,
though it was later named "Maximilian's Tower" by the
Austrians.
