HOLY EUPHEMIA AND HOLY BERNARD MONASTERY

In the hollow of the bay, stands this convent flanked by two churches. The first, Holy Euphoria, was founded by the Franciscan Order in 1446. In the apse, the ceiling is decorated with frescoes depicting scenes from the life of St. Francis of Assisi. A polyptych comes from the workshop of brothers Antonio and Bartolomeo Vivarini (1458). In the modern period, Janez Ambroz Testenpour created mystical works for a chapel. The second church was built later.
