Angels, St Blaise Church, Old Town, Dubrovnik, Croatia
Statues of angels holding wreaths on the facade of St Blaise Church, named after St Blaise or St Blasius, the patron saint of Dubrovnik, built in 1715 by Marino Gropelli in Baroque style, replacing an earlier Romanesque church, Old Town, Dubrovnik, Croatia. The city developed as an important port in the 15th and 16th centuries and has had a multicultural history, allied to the Romans, Ostrogoths, Byzantines, Ancona, Hungary and the Ottomans. In 1979 the city was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
