Richard the Lionheart's Cathedral


The Cathedral up ahead was built at the bequest of the 12th Century English King, Richard I (or Richard the Lionheart), as a token of thanks to Dubrovnik.  When his ship was caught in a storm he sought refuge in the town and the people welcomed him graciously. 

The building itself has since been rebuilt, but the original foundations remain.
