Dubrovnik, the historic Ragusa Republic

St. Saviour Church

The St. Saviour Church (Crkva svetog Spasa), a small votive church dedicated to Jesus Christ, from the city wall above the Pile Gate. Following an earthquake on 17 May 1520 that killed about 20 people and damaged many buildings in the city, the local Senate that governed the Republic of Ragusa commissioned this church as a sign of gratitude for sparing the city from even bigger destruction. Designed by the architect Petar Andrijić from Korčula, construction started in 1520, and the church was completed in 1528 and survived the 1667 earthquake.
