Serbian Orthodox Church of the Annunciation

This guide to the Serbian Orthodox Church of the Annunciation in Dubrovnik traces a centuries-long ban: no Orthodox church could stand inside the city walls, even as Orthodox traders from Herzegovina and Serbia became essential to its economy. It follows the wealthy trader Bozo Boskovic, who in 1867 bought three houses and a garden once belonging to the noble Gondola family, paying twenty eight thousand five hundred florins for the plot. Look for the neo-Byzantine detailing on the facade, chosen in the style these merchants had grown up worshipping under back home.
