MONASTIC ENSEMBLE (SAMOSTANSKI KOMPLEKS)
Read moreThis religious complex, of which certain elements are in ruins, is composed of a medieval basilica (12th-12th centuries), the monastery and its cloister (15th-16th centuries). The Benedictine monks, who had been living on the island since the 11th century, left it for good in 1787. The Romanesque-Gothic style convent was partially destroyed in the earthquake of 1667. Today, only the east and north wings and the cloister remain. Inside, a large permanent exhibition on Game of Thrones will allow fans of the American series (but also the curious) to learn more about the behind-the-scenes filming in Croatia, with testimonies and interviews with actors in free listening.
In the courtyard of the convent, Maximilian of Habsburg had his residence built in 1860, complete with gardens and a park. The monarch had already started a small botanical collection, but it was in 1959 that the garden was institutionalized to study the adaptation of tropical and subtropical plants to the Mediterranean climate. The years of war 1991-1992 inflicted much damage to the garden. Since 1993, the garden has been rebuilt and planted again. More than 800 species are now listed, including many cactus, eucalyptus, palm trees. Some trees are more than three centuries old! You can enjoy a beautiful walk to the large reservoir that passes through the olive grove of the Benedictines. The city of Monaco has financed part of the work!
