While visiting Dubrovnik we happened upon the church while mass was being conducted (in English). After mass I had my throat blessed as is custom since St Blaise is the patron saint for protecting one against throat illnesses (as well as the patron saint of the city). We then toured this very beautiful church.

While I was always aware of St Blaise and had my throat blessed each February on his Feast Day. I never recognised that he was also the patron saint of Dubrovnik - Saint Vlahu. This is a beautiful Church which was built at the beginning of the 18th Century to replace the Church that was destroyed by an earthquake. I... More

This is a really beautiful church. There are always lots of people loitering on the steps, that's fine though; it can be a great place to sit and have a snack. It's worth checking out in Dubrovnik since it only takes a minute.

We visited it during the sunday mass and enjoyed watching the domestics and listening to the singing even though we didnt understand a word.

An eye-filling golden organ case in the Church and a very pleasing baroque altar

This is a nice place to visit and we would recommend spending some time here. However, when we compared it to other churches we have visited in Europe, it's not that memorable.

No explanation in English about the legend of St. Blaise and the connection with the Feast of Candlemas on the Saint's Day 2 February and how this Saint helps sore throats..

I hate the custom of keeping relics which we often see in Southern Europe but the incredibly busy treasury inside the church is worth the small fee.

I should lump all of Dubrovnik in this review. I can't say enough about the city, the people, or the triumph of the Croatians. 67 percent of this city was bombed or shelled out in the 1990s and has mostly been rebuilt, but still in the medieval spirit, so none of it's charm is lost. You can lose yourself for... More
