FRANCISCAN MONASTERY OF ST. JEROME OF UGLJAN

Abbey monastery and convent

On its promontory, the monastery of St. Jerome, the patron saint of Dalmatia, was founded in 1430.

In the inner courtyard, there is still the epitaph to Šimun Kožičić-Benja (1460-1536), the primate of Rijeka who had the first book printed in glagolitic. In the cloister, his tombstone remains, as well as a beautiful colonnade with capitals carved with plant, animal or human heads. It is possible to stay in this calm and soothing place.
