Franciscan Abbey

Originally was established the Benedictine abbey in the 11th century.
Later the Franciscans came and gave a new upswing to the religious, cultural and national activities on Košljun. In the 15th century, they took over the ruinous Benedictine «Mostir» and built a monastery according to the instructions provided by St. Bernard of Siena.
