Lentorama 2012: Know Your Diocese


Day 39: Diocese of Dubrovnik


While bishops sat at Dubrovnik going back to the sixth century, it didn't get diocese status until 990. For roughly 700 years it was an archdiocese, but it was demoted in 1828, which I assume had something to do with the end of the Republic of Ragusa, of which Dubrovnik was capital. There's not much else I can find about it, especially as the diocese website is (a) in Croatian, and (b) seems optimized to crash my browser.
