The present Cathedral of Assumption was built in the Roman Baroque style in the late 1600s on the foundation of several former cathedrals dating from the seventh to the 12th century.
Finished in 1713, the portal of the facade is flanked by four Corinthian columns. The deep niches in the facade contains statues of Saint Blaise (patron saint of Dubrovnik) and Joseph with Child. The lateral sides of the cathedral are rather plain, articulated by pillars and semicircular windows.
The building features a high nave, separated by massive columns from the two aisles, three apses and a grand Baroque dome at the intersection of the nave and the transepts.
