Landscapes of the Holy Land Devotion in Late Medieval and Early Modern Dubrovnik

This paper aims at examining the instances of reconstructions of the sacred topography of the Holy Land in late medieval and early modern Ragusa, modern day Dubrovnik, on the Eastern Adriatic littoral. I shall cross-examine a number of Holy Land evocative sites built both in and outside the city walls during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, all of which will be observed with respect to their chronologies, patronage, desired audience and location. The nuanced observation of the inter-relations between these shrines and holy sites – be it private oratories, confraternity churches or more elaborate chapel complexes in the proximity of the city – aims at adding to the discussion of the sacral and religious landscapes of Mediterranean towns, particularly those situated on the maritime route to Holy Land.
