A stone's throw away from the postcard-perfect waterfront in Hvar, the Franciscan Monastery offers you inner peace like no other. This 15th-century monument is not just a place for reflection, but appreciation. Within these walls, there are masterpieces that will make you gasp.

Perhaps the most renowned of these is the "Last Supper", believed by some to have been painted by Matteo Ingoli, while others think it was by the school of Palma Junior. Whatever the origins may be, the painting is without a doubt, awe-inspiring. The building and its contents are not the only aspects of this attraction that date back centuries. Stop by the monastery's garden to see the magnificent 300-year-old cypress plant. For a rare moment of peace in this fast-paced world, make your way down to Hvar's Franciscan Monastery.
