Franciscan friary, Dubrovnik

The almost life-sized Pietà in the central lunette, decorated with flamboyant leaves, is flanked by the figures of St. Jerome (holding a model of the pre-earthquake church) and St. John the Baptist.

The main altar with the statue of the resurrected Christ between four twisted marble columns was created by the sculptor Celia from Ancona in 1713.

The lower cloister was built in Romanesque-Gothic style with arches, 120 columns and 12 massive pilasters and a promenade.

The capitals on the colonnade of double ornamented hexaphoras are all different showing various geometric, plant-, human- and animal-like figures.

The museum library also contains an exhibition of liturgical artifacts, including a 15th-century silver-gilt cross and silver thurible, and an 18th-century crucifix from Jerusalem and some paintings of old masters, such as "Ecce Homo" by Francesco Raibolini, also known as Francesco Francia (15th century) and a 14th-century head relic of St Ursula.
