The Pile City Gate (Gradska Vrata Pile). The Pile Gate is the main entrance into the ancient part of the city. They were built in 1537 and served as a grave defensive installation. In the arcade bay, which is built in Renaissance style, you'll see the sculpture of St Blasius, the protector of Dubrovnik.

The Onofrio Fountain. To the right from the Pile Gate at a small square takes place the Big Onofrio Fountain. It was built in 1438 by Neapolitan architect Onofrio de la Kavi, who also projected the city waterworks. The fountain is one of the most well-known monuments in the city. Primordially it was decorated with the sculpture that, unfortunately, was ruined during the earthquake of 1667. Only 16 stone masks left, through which the water runs.

The first building to the left from Placa is The St Savior Church. Not far from it you'll see the world-famous Franciscan Monastery, which was built in 1317-1417. After the earthquake of 1667 they had to make a total reconstruction of the monastery. The only detail that left untouched was the south door, decorated in the Venetian gothic style. Just over the entrance the sculpture 'Madonna Pieta' by Ivan Meshtrovich is located.

The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (Velika Gospa). The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (Velika Gospa) is situated in front of Rector's Palace.

There is an opportunity to visit the treasure-house, where you can look at the shrine with the relics of St Blasius, 138 golden and silver ware of the 11th and the 17th centuries.
