An easy stroll from Hvar's square, along the sea and the waterfront soon brings you to the Franciscan monastery. Within the peace and quiet of the monastery walls, you can enjoy a rich display of museum exhibits (collections of Greek, Roman and Venetian coins, liturgical items, atlas of the ancient cartographer Ptolemaeus, rare exhibits of amphora, etc.), as well as paintings of Venetian artists like Francesco Santacroce and Palma Junior. The monastery is known for its magnificent painting of the Last Supper (2 x 8 m) which leaves everyone breathless. Some critics believe it is the work of a painter from Ravenna Matteo Ingoli, whilst others think that the painting belongs to the school of Palma Junior. One more rarity that makes the monastery famous is the 300-year old cypress that is located in the garden of the monastery.

A museum with a big wall painting Last supper done by Italian artist, an ancient cyprus tree 500 years old, a place where few times a week concerts (piano recital, jazz, typical vocal singing) take place

Our Franciscan monastery is not just beautiful to see during the day or visit it's museum. It is also a place where you can visit many concerts during the "Hvarsko ljeto" manifestation.
