Makarska Cathedral

The Dominican Monastery in Bol was erected in 1475 very close to the small church of Our Lady of Mercy, on the site of an old castle. It has become one of the best known landmarks on the island of Brac. The Monastery Museum displays an extensive collection of objects ranging from prehistoric artefacts to underwater archaeological discoveries. But its most valuable masterpiece is the painting of Our Lady with the Child and Saints, at the altar of the church.

It is a Franciscan Monastery near Orebic built at the end of the 16th century in the Gothic-Renaissance style. It is situated on a cliff, about 152 meters above sea level. This privileged position makes the view from the Orebic Monastery a marvel to behold. In the past, sailors had the tradition of ringing their ship sirens three times when passing near the monastery, to which the Franciscans responded with three rings of bells.

The Dominican Monastery of St. Nicholas was probably built in the 16th century. The building was seized by the Russians and Montenegrins in 1808. In 1813, the English returned the church and monastery to the Dominicans who occupied it, but it remained closed due to the shortage of monks. It was not until 1844 that the monks returned to the monastery.
