Fodor's Expert Review Dominican Monastery
Brač
Religious Building
Founded in 1475, the Dominican monastery on the western edge of Bol has beautiful gardens overlooking the sea. The monastery church is home to a valuable 16th-century painting by Tintoretto, and the small on-site museum displays ancient Greek coins and amphorae found on the nearby islands of Hvar and Vis. In addition to maintaining the museum and church, the monastery's priests actively study and carry out the Dominican mission throughout Croatia and Europe.
