You have to pay to visit the very small monastery which you enter on the long flight of stairs to the left of the chapel (which is reached through steep steps and is only open during service). The entry fee is cheap (5 kuna I think). the most interesting part is the little museum they have which houses some quite... More

Very old canvasses and artefacs from the 14th and 15th centures are on display here. The museum houses an amazing display of votive jewellery. The most memorable painting is that of the Madonna with child.

This is a lovely working monastery. Its cloisters are very peaceful. The church within it has interesting artworks. Interesting to both those who are catholic and to those who are not.

A beautiful church with a museum and a cloister garden. This was very peaceful and tranquil and I spent about two hours chilling out in the garden and visited the church three times and the museum twice. Another fascinating collection of gold and silver items made in Dubrovnik, manuscripts, pictures and jewellery.

A lovely flight of steps leads to the door of this beautiful church. It contains a wondeful collection of works of art. I had the pleasure of singing there as a member of a choir, the accustics were terrific

The previous reviewer pretty much said it all with a paltry entry fee of £2 and a stunning display of paintings, books, jewellery and artifacts dating back hundreds of years. Finish your tour sitting in the chapel to reflect on the visit before rejoining the maddening crowds of the old town.
