Monastery with a beautiful church, within inner courtyard with a well where concerts take place during summer, museum with collections of Roma Greek and Venetians coins, old amphoras, more than 300old cypress tree and magnificent painting of the Last Supper. A must see place in Hvar!

Well preserved conservatory. Look for the tree with the elliptical branches in the garden and the dining room with the amazing painting of the Last Supper. Low entry price.
