The monumental baroque Church of St.Blaise in Dubrovnik is located in the the Luža square and was constructed in 1715 by the Venetian architect and sculptor M. Gropelli. Legends say that St.Blaise saved the residents of Dubrovnik from a Venetian attack and therefore he became the protector and patron saint of the city.
During the Dubrovnik Summer Festival many performances take place in the Luža square in front of St. Blaise Church which has been the center of social life in Dubrovnik since its foundation. For example, the opening ceremony of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival takes place here as well as performances by the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra.
Visit Dubrovnik this summer and watch the grand opening performance of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival outside St. Blaise’s Church with the cool summer breeze blowing in your hair!
