Franciscan Monastery of Our Lady of Angels, Orebić
Samostan Gospe od Anđela
A 15th-century monastery on a sea cliff overlooking the Korčula Channel, surrounded by the graves of Orebić's sea captains.
The monastery was built in 1480 on a hillside about 150 meters above the western side of Orebić. It once watched over the channel, and sailors passing by would sound their horns in honor of the Virgin Mary. Inside, a small museum displays votive paintings of sea voyages and icons. The outdoor viewing platform overlooks the old town of Korčula across the water. The surrounding cemetery holds the family graves of sea captains. The walk up from the town center takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and there is a small admission fee.
