Franciscan Monastery and Church of Our Lady of Mercy, 15th - 16th century 15th - 16th century

The church was built from 1465 to 1471 as a vow of the Venetian captain Pietro Soranzo after being saved from a storm. On the choir railing are scenes of the Passion of Christ, the work of the Hvar writer Martin Benetović. The complex houses an art collection with a votive painting by P. Soranzo (Hope of the Hopeless, 15th century), a large painting of the Last Supper (17th century), Ptolemy's Atlas (16th century) and an unusual old cypress in the garden. Next to the church are several chapels of the Stations of the Cross (18th century), the oldest open-air example in Croatia, which connect the monastery with the town.
