The solidly built and well-preserved former monastery is now a museum that periodically shows interesting exhibitions. The former monastery church is now used as a parish church by the villagers. The monastery is definitely worth a detour for those traveling through, there is enough parking space.

Another church in my opinion. Specific, of course, the smell and atmosphere. For those coming by bike, beware of the steep uphill stretch.

We went to see the church on a rainy day. Unfortunately, the museum was closed and the monastery inn has been closed for years. You used to eat well here.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
