Collegium Ragusinum
The building adjacent to the church is the famous Dubrovnik college Collegium Ragusinum. The Jesuits came to Dubrovnik in the first half of the 16th century aiming to open a Jesuit College, which they accomplished as late as 1658. After the Jesuit Order had been abolished in 1773, the Collegium was taken over by the Piarists.
The building now houses a classical grammar school. The old library includes over 10,000 volumes with valuable incunabula and manuscripts by Dubrovnik writers.
