Dominican Monastery

Bol, Croatia

In at the place in Bol where once was a bishop's palace today is the Dominican Monastery. It was built in 1475 and very close to it is a small church of Our Lady of Mercy. The most precious heritage of both monastery and church is the renaissance painting of Madonna and Child with Saints.

One of the hidden gems of the Adriatic. Great beach, nice archaeological museum, great chapel.

Museum is nice, but a bit underwhelming as it’s small and has no air conditioning (during July and August you will be sweating inside). Nice church

Quite simple and small monastery. Worth of visiting once. The museum part is the artefacts there are amazing and really historical.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
