Sažetak
1707–1715 Religious architecture, Baroque central church with a ground plan in the form of an inscribed Greek cross and dome Architect and sculptor: Marino Gropelli (1662–1728) Badly damage by fire, the church was rebuilt between 1707 an 1715. For the reconstruction of the church dedicated to the city's patron saint, St. Blaise, the people of Dubrovnik (the Senate) chose a Venetian architect, Marino Gropelli who used the traditional Venetian ground plan with an inscribed Greek cross and domes in the central and corner fields. The exterior of the church is distinctive for its oblique base with stairs and a balustrade, and for the high quality architectural and figurative sculptures of the patron, angels and distinctive Venetian masquerons.
