Minorite Monastery of St. Francis
Minoritski samostan sv. Frančiška
A 14th-century Franciscan monastery with an elegant Gothic cloister, which hosts chamber concerts in summer.
The monastery was founded in 1301. A well stands in the center of the cloister, and the church holds works of the Venetian school. During the Tartini Music Festival in summer, chamber music concerts are held in the cloister, with excellent acoustics. The cloister is usually free to enter, but please keep quiet during religious services. It is located on the slope between Tartini Square and St. George's Church.
