Fodor's Expert Review Dominican Monastery

With its beautiful gardens overlooking the sea, the Dominican Monastery on the western edge of Bol was founded in 1475. The monastery church is home to a valuable 16th-century painting by Jacopo Tintoretto, and the small on-site museum displays ancient Greek coins and amphorae found on the nearby islands of Hvar and Vis. In addition to maintaining the museum and church, the Dominican Monastery's priests actively study and carry out the Dominican mission throughout Croatia and Europe.
