Church of the Holy Spirit, 15th century 15th century

The Church of the Holy Spirit was built by the confraternity of the same name at the end of the 15th century on the site of an older and smaller church. The oldest bell in Hvar, dating from 1487, is preserved on the church's bell tower. Inside is a low relief depicting the Virgin Mary and Child, made of cardboard (cartapeste) in the 16th century. At the beginning of the 19th century, the confraternity of the Holy Spirit was abolished, and in 1861 it was succeeded by the confraternity of St. Nicholas, which is still active in this church today. Next to the church is a confraternity house with valuable confraternity inventory.
