Did the stones of Domino Church whisper secrets to the stonemasons? This 15th-century church, also known as All Saints Church, stands before you, steeped in history and resonant with music. Domino Church has witnessed much in its long life. Originally built in the 15th century, it was tragically destroyed by the devastating earthquake of 1667 that reshaped much of Dubrovnik. But like the resilient city around it, Domino Church rose again, rebuilt in the elegant Baroque style that characterizes so much of Dubrovnik’s architecture. Inside, the altarpiece, “The Glory of All Saints” by Andrea Vaccaro, draws the eye and speaks to the church’s renewed life. Interestingly, Domino Church was once the headquarters of the fraternity of stone masons. Imagine the skilled hands that once gathered here, discussing their craft and the very stones that formed this sacred space. Their legacy lives on in the church’s very walls. Today, Domino Church continues to serve as a place of worship, but also resonates with beautiful music. The Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra’s chamber music ensembles, Trio Domine and MusicAA, frequently grace this historic space with their performances. From the soaring melodies of the flute and violin to the rich tones of the viola, the music fills the ancient stones with new life. So as you stand before Domino Church, listen closely. You might just hear the echoes of stonemasons past mingling with the sweet strains of music present, a testament to the enduring spirit of this remarkable place.
