Jesuit Church - Dubrovniks most beautiful baroque complex

Church of St Ignatius
The baroque stairs connecting Gundulić Square with another square named after the great Dubrovnik physicist Ruđer Bošković are reminiscent of some etymologists who believe that the word baroque originated from the word shell. The one time venue of Shakespeares play Romeo and Juliet, the beautiful stairs very much resemble the ones leading to the Trinit? dei Monti Church in Rome from the Piazza di Spagna. Designed by the Roman architect Pietro Passalacque in 1738, the stairs lead to St Ignatius Church adjacent to the famous Jesuit school Collegium Ragusinum. The Church of St Ignatius - or the Jesuits, as the people of Dubrovnik call it - is the work of the famed Jesuit architect and painter Ignazio Pozzo, who worked on the church from 1699 to 1703.

The church was completed in 1725 and opened in 1729. The construction of both the Church and the Collegium began with the funds donated by a Jesuit from the Gundulić family, yet the donor had died before the designs were completed. The Collegium Ragusinum was actually founded because the people of Dubrovnik were dissatisfied with the Italian teachers with whom they often came into conflict. As soon as he was appointed, the Italian born head of the Dubrovnik diocese Beccadelli initiated the opening of the Jesuit Collegium in 1555.

The idea was realised as late as in 1658, after numerous problems with the ownership of the land had been solved. Namely, in order to build the Collegium and the Church, a large number of houses in the oldest part of the city had to be demolished. This complex is considered to be the finest Baroque set of buildings in Dubrovnik, and - according to many - in all of Dalmatia. It is thus not surprising that theatre directors at the Dubrovnik Summer Festival often use this venue as an open-air stage.

--------------------------------
The first column shows a cannonball shot fired from Srđ in 1814 from an English cannon during the Dubrovnik uprising against the French and their expulsion from the City. There are 2 more bullet holes on Stradun, one of which was destroyed (closed) by the owner of Orlando. The claim that these are Russian bullets from 1806 is not correct because everything is finally documented correctly and the exact information about this was given by a relative of the then English captain from whose ship the cannons were. This does not mean that Russian cannons (and Montenegrins) did not fire in 1806. On the contrary. The destruction, the number of dead and burned houses and the siege that lasted a month were much more devastating. But, as with the attack on the City in 1991/92, not much evidence remains.

Crkva sv. Ignacija isusovačka je crkva u Dubrovniku.

Prve je planove za izgradnju čitavog isusovačkog kompleksa s crkvom izradio tadašnji rektor kolegija Giovanni Battista Canauli. Plan je obuhvaćao rušenje crkvenih i privatnih građevina kako bi crkva stajala na dominantnom mjestu i odobren je tek 1656., nakon što je Canuli bio opozvan. Superior Orsat Ranjina započeo je s otkupom zemljišta i građevina dvije godine nakon toga. Izgradnja kompleksa započela je 1662., a sama crkva tek nakon Nastala je tijekom više od stotinu godina. Građena je kao barokna jednobrodna crkva s reprezentativnim pročeljem, po uzoru na crkvu sv. Ignacija u Rimu. Projektiralo je izradio arhitekt Andrea Pozzo, a gradnja je dovršena 1725. godine. Iluzionističke barokne freske u unutrašnjosti, s prizorima iz života sv. Ignacija Lojolskog, izveo je slikar Gaetano Garcia. Godine 1885. u crkvi je postavljena umjetna spilja, posvećena Gospi Lurdskoj, jedna od najstarijih u Europi.

Crkva je smještena na trgu zvanom Poljana Ruđera Boškovića. Na trg se pristupa monumentalnim stubištem iz 1738. godine, djelu Pietra Passalacque, građenom po uzoru na stubište Piazza di Spagna u Rimu. Na crkvu se nadovezuje Isusovački kolegij (Collegium Ragusinum), glasovito isusovačko učilište, a danas Biskupijska klasična gimnazija Ruđera Boškovića.
