Such a wonderful calming environment. Very beautiful. Fabulous garden in the monastery and the pharmacy is still in use. Excellent value for money and very helpful and kind staff. Thank you

The church was nice but I really liked the monastery. The courtyard was really pretty and I couldn't stop taking pictures. There is a small museum inside. The entry is 40HRK and is part of Dubrovnik card
