A hospitable, clean, well-kept and quiet guest house of the Dominican Sisters in the monastery of Cazis. I had booked a tasty breakfast for the overnight stay. If I can, I would like to spend a few days there again. I can highly recommend it.

Very friendly, attentive sisters in a lively, not outdated convent. If you wish to have a conversation or pastoral care, you can be accompanied by well-trained sisters. Real spiritual atmosphere, beautifully designed prayer times with polyphonic singing, harp and organ. Quiet rooms in a well-kept house. Good home cooking served by sisters. Beautiful walks in the immediate vicinity, monastery garden invites you to linger. A place to unwind and recharge :-)

A place of peace and strength to recharge your batteries for everyday life. Wonderful walks in the area and wonderful food then in the monastery. And always take part in the devotions with the sisters throughout the day. This also strengthens for the "world out there" again.

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.
