Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The monastery and its rooms are fairly small, especially since the church portion was closed for renovations when we visited. However, the entrance fee was low (€3) and it was not crowded inside. We enjoyed the garden-like cloisters with their cool and quiet corridors, and were able to explore several rooms of off them with paintings, especially several of St. Blaise, the patron saint of Dubrovnik. We only stayed for about 30 minutes but enjoyed our visit.

Peaceful and shady spot.
Interesting to see as part of history of Dubrovnik and not expensive to get in to.
Worth a few minutes

The sign out the front explained it was still under renovation but it was still open so we ere able to go in and have a look around.
The internal garden was lovely and the covered walkways just gorgeous.
Some G.O.T was filmed here as well.
There was some lovely paintings in the monastery but there wasn't that much to see in there due to the renovations.

We enjoyed our visit here. The staff is friendly and helpful. The cloisters are nice and the museum has a few nice paintings and relics. Entry fee is very affordable at 3 euros per person and credit cards or cash are accepted. Unfortunately the church is closed for renovation.

The church is closed for renovations which meant it was a much smaller area to visit.
We approached the ticket sales area and were sorting out the correct money when the lady selling tickets barked at us that she didn’t accept euros. I explained that we weren’t planning to pay in euros we were just getting the correct money ready. She then said she didn’t accept anything smaller than 5 krunas. We had a one kruna coin together with two two kruna coins which she refused to accept. I asked if they were legal tender but she ignored me and snatched two five kruna coins out of my hand, An altogether incredibly rude and bad tempered response to us. Our visit to a place of Christian worship was spoilt by her attitude.
The cloisters are beautiful and the paintings really lovely but given the church was shut it wasn’t good value for money.

A former Dominican monastery, now open to all visitors. There is not much to see. You can walk through the cloister and the small inner courtyard and visit the small museum. There are many cult objects and gold jewelry, some old books, paintings. It is beautiful, but not out of the ordinary. The air is cooler under the arches of the cloister. You need about 30 minutes for the visit.

This is not included in the Dubrovnik card, and while it is cheap, it’s not worth the little collection they have. The best thing is that there is a good icecream shop close by

The Dominican Monastery is a small museum containing historical roman catholic artefacts.
There are some beautiful old items but i think they could have done a lot more to explain the context or history of the exhibits.
Worth having a look at the building alone.
Included in the Dubrovnik card so worth a 30 minute visit if you have the card.

The monastery built between 1301 and 1315 in Gothic style. The building was damaged during an earthquake in 1667 and was rebuilt. Romanesque parts have been preserved but the mixture of Gothic and southern Renaissance styles that dominates.
Many works are preserved like the booklet of St. Thomas Aquinas. The museum of sacred arts exhibits a collection of ancient works, paintings, sculptures and many manuscripts.

what days & times is Dominican Monastery open in August 2017?

I did not go inside the monastery last time I visited because I only got half a day so I was not aware of their opening hours. I checked on the net for you and apparently it is open from 9am to 6pm (5pm in the winter). I suppose august is not considered winter. But do try to check with your travel agent if any as I believe most of these attractions do not open everyday of the week and besides, it is prudent to check if they would be under any renovation around your time of visit. Wish you a good time in the old town. It is definitely worth a visit!

Dear Sir;
Is there a staff at the Dominican Monastery, or anyone around that knows any of the late 1800's early 1900's history of the monastery. Specifically, we are looking for information about a young boy who was taken in by the monks in a monastery in Dubrovnik and became a very capable translator for them around this aforementioned time period. He left around the age of 18 and came to America. My Grandson is his Great, Great Grandson and is looking for information about his Great, Great Grandfather. Any information that can be provided is greatly appreciated. We will be traveling to Dubrovnik in late June and would like to visit and tour the monastery where my Grandson's Great, Great Grandfather lived during the formative period of his life.

Hello,
There were staff there who might be able to answer some of your questions although I'm not sure how much they offer in terms of tours etc.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
