Church of St James Pipunar
Right by the city walls, on Peline, there is a small church of St James Pipunar, previously dedicated to St Paul. It was mentioned for the first time in 1225 when the Dominicans arrived in Dubrovnik and settled down in its vicinity. Because of the subsequent building of houses around it, only the southern facade of the single-nave Romanesque church remained free, with its blind dwarf arcades, entrance and its single bell-cote. In this church there is also a 15th century painting of the Madonna and Child by an unknown artist.
