Placed in the heart of Istria, San Canzian is an authentic luxury Village & Hotel, with 24 rooms and suites, situated in a medieval village of Mužolini Donji, near Buje and Grožnjan, a 14th-century Venetian fortress, reborn as the most important art colony in Istria.

The location known from the ancient times as Kastion/Castrum/Castiloni is situated in Mužolini Donji, between Buje and Krasica. This fort and its surroundings were always a secret safe place for the locals. Fertile valleys and fresh water, olives and wine, all prerequisites for a good life.

A small Romanesque chapel was named after St Cantianus. The fortress is long gone, for centuries now, and the only thing remaining are the chapel foundations. But nature has stayed the same. It is still a secret place and a starting point for all travelers who come to explore and enjoy Istria.

The San Canzian estate was entirely transformed and renovated with care and finesse of every detail with Istria as everlasting inspiration. Our interior design is deeply rooted and inspired by indigenous ways of building, but with modern solutions, and immaculately blended in a medieval exterior setting.

You are about to treat your taste buds with premium culinary pleasures. Istria is a wonderland of fine, award-winning olive oils and wines, and at San Canzian you will have the perfect opportunity to enjoy the delicious creations by food aficionados and bespoken Chef at the Luciano Restaurant & Bar.

San Canzian Village & Hotel is the perfect place for gathering and all your bright and sunny moments.

Location
Istria, the ancient land of rich history, picturesque towns and a long coastline, a green patch of land surrounded by clear blue sea, is the largest Croatian peninsula and the closest Mediterranean destination for most of the European countries.

UNESCO world heritage sites such as the Arena in Pula, the Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč and many other museums and palaces are all located in the area. San Canzian Village & Hotel is located in Mužolini Donji, 5 km from Buje and 12 km from Grožnjan.

Rooms & Suites
Each room and suite are unique and therefore different. Traditional and yet inspired by the contemporary luxury and unique charm of the Istrian countryside, they offer a one-of-a-kind sophisticated experience to its guests.

Immerse yourself in natural imperfections of wood and stone, and their irreplaceable beauty, color, and texture. All different elements function harmoniously at first sight and create the uniqueness of the San Canzian style.

San Canzian Residence Grožnjan
If it were only possible, our hotel would be located in Grožnjan, in our opinion the most beautiful village in Istria, only a few kilometres away as the crow flies. However, since we cannot move the hotel there, we have turned one of the most beautiful houses in Grožnjan into a small residence with full hotel service.

Our idea is that you, like its residents, are in the centre of this small, picturesque town while enjoying the luxury of our hotel and having the opportunity of benefiting from all our services. To make your experience complete, there is a parking space in Grožnjan and a free all-day shuttle service to our hotel.

In search for unique places, sometimes you need to get off the main roads. However, let them lead you to Bale, Istria. Then slow down and follow the road that gets narrower with every mile, as nature draws closer.

Slow down even more, and then make a turn into the white road. As the iron gates of the Meneghetti estate open up in front of you, stop for just one moment – and realize that the magic actually appears off the beaten path.

Taking over and offering to you only the best that Istria offers – that is our goal. We created the opportunity for you to meet the centuries-old tradition inherited from our ancestors and contemporaries, turned into the emotion of enjoyment. Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery is – indeed – a world to itself. Here, life is quieter, more fulfilled.

THE HISTORY
After the Napoleon’s wars, when the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy first quietly and then quickly and strongly took over Istria, a smart man called Meneghetti decided to buy many acres of land and start producing food for one simple reason – there were 6 thousand soldiers within 500 m from his estate and he was able to sell them everything that he produced.

He started building houses, barns, planting vineyards and olive groves, raising goats and sheep, and hosting Austro-Hungarian officers during their leisure time. It was already then that Stancija Meneghetti began to have a reputation of one of the most beautiful estates on the Adriatic coast, and a few decades later that reputation grew even more.

Abandoned by all the former armies, owners, and accidental passers-by, overgrown in Mediterranean underbrush and weeds, it was re-discovered in the early 2000s by Miroslav Plišo and his wife, Romana Kajfež, who were in search of a perfect estate for their enjoyment. There was only one condition – the place had to be located in Istria.

Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery is now a true beauty made of century-old stone, evoking respect towards the tradition of its region. Meneghetti is a symbol of luxury, an oasis of peace and quiet surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, with its winery, an outstanding restaurant providing highly personalized service, and premium, world-renowned and award-winning wines and olive oils.

It welcomes anyone seeking peace, quiet and high-end service. During the redesign, the highest attention was given to every detail. The final result is the utmost quality and pleasurable aesthetics, both in the flawless interior and magical external environment.

Today, Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery is a delightful luxury hotel with 40 rooms, a member of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux. Like any real paradise on Earth, this place is hard to find. Magic only happens off the beaten path.

One of them leads to us. To find it, you need to explore the hidden paths, turn your journey into an adventure – it is worth every effort. That way, the journey becomes the destination.

THE MENEGHETTI WINES

It is protected by a small hill from the south that prevents excessive humidity, and it gives the vine a long and healthy lifespan with strong aromas. “The Red Land” of the Meneghetti vineyards is cultivated in an ecologically sustainable manner with deep respect towards nature.

The vine is pruned by hand according to the Simonit & Sirch method which is soft with the purpose of nurturing the plant in order to achieve older age. Along with the autochthonous sorts, we are cultivating international varieties that get special characteristics, affected by the local terroir, the unique soil, and the environment full of Mediterranean vegetation.

DISCOVER HVAR
Hvar is one of the most beautiful islands of the Mediterranean, its hillsides are covered in pine forests, vineyards, olive groves, fruit orchards and lavender fields. The island climate is characterized by mild winters and warm summers with 2718 hours of sunshine so it is no wonder that the island is known as the sunniest island in Croatia.

Hvar is situated at the center of the Adriatic sailing routes, which made this island an important base for commanding trade on the Adriatic.

The deep and tame bays of the island have enabled docking and communication already in the prehistoric times, originally inhabited by Neolithic people whose distinctive pottery gave rise to the term Hvar culture, and later by the Illyrians. In medieval times, Hvar (city) rose to importance within the Venetian Empire as a major naval base.

Prosperity brought culture and the arts, with one of the first public theatres in Europe, nobles’ palaces and many fine communal buildings. After a brief time under Napoleonic rule, the island became part of the Austrian Empire, a more peaceful and prosperous time.

In 2018 Hvar celebrated 150 years of organized tourism, with a focus on the natural and historical heritage that played a crucial role for the island’s development since 1868, when the Hygienic Society was founded.

This was what encouraged further development of the tourism branch, turning Hvar into a world-famous tourist destination that it is today. Hvar is the only island with 6 UNESCO Heritages:

• STARI GRAD PLAIN: Also known as Ager. This unique plain remains almost untouched as it was 384 BC when the area was colonized by the Ancient Greeks. The landscape features ancient stone walls and trims, as well as small stone shelters bearing testimony to the ancient geometrical system of land division, which has remained intact over 24 centuries.
• PROCESSION ZA KRIŽEN: This unique tradition “Following the Cross” holds a deep spiritual connection with the island’s population, dating back to the 16th century. It takes place through the night on Maundy Thursday, passing through Jelsa, Pitve, Vrisnik, Svirče, Vrbanj and Vrboska. Each of the six groups start at their church and follow the course in a clockwise direction, meaning that the groups never meet. The group is led by one cross-bearer, while other members are dressed in white tunics.

• MEDITERRANEAN DIET: The tradition of a healthy lifestyle and gastronomy on island Hvar can be dated back centuries.

• KLAPA SINGING: This multipart singing is an expression of the cultural identity of Dalmatia as a whole, therefore including the island of Hvar.

It is bordered on the east side by the cathedral and bishop’s palace, on the west by Mandrač (a small port for boats) and to the northwest by the Leroj (clocktower) and the Loggia, which today form part of Hotel Palace Elisabeth.

The theater is located on the first floor of the Arsenal which celebrated its 400th anniversary in 2012. It owes its existence to the then Prince of Hvar Pietro Semitecolo who was inspired by Italian theatre. Priorly, it was used as a maintenance and storage building by the Venetian navy, which overwintered in Hvar harbor.
• SPANISH FORTRESS – CITY HVAR: Towering way above the city of Hvar is the famous Spanish Fortress (Španjola), built in the early 16th century during the Venetian rule.

The fortress can easily be accessed by car or by foot directly from the city center.
• FRANCISCAN MONASTERY – CITY HVAR: Walking along the promenade, past the Riva, yacht harbour hotel and the catamaran dock, the Franciscan Monastery comes into view.

• STARI GRAD PLAIN (HORA/AGER PHARIENSIS): The most unusual testimony to the past which you will see in Stari Grad, leading towards the towns of Vrboska and Jelsa is the Stari Grad Plain. It was first colonized by the Greeks in the 4th century BC and remains practically intact since then. It was one of the first forms of parcelization and it is enlisted as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The landscape features ancient stone walls and trims, as well as small stone shelters bearing testimony to the ancient geometrical system of land division.
• THE FORTRESS CHURCH – CITY VRBOSKA: The church of St. Mary, which stands like a tall stone ship above the town, dominates Vrboska. Originally, it was quite small, but after two great Turkish invasions when Hvar, Stari Grad and Vrboska were destroyed it was transformed into a strong fortress. It is worth climbing up the roof, where you can see how fortifications were organized. There is also a wonderful view of the town and the bay.
• ST. LAWRENCE CHURCH – CITY VRBOSKA: Some of the most valuable works of art, such as those by Paolo Veronese from the 16th century is kept in the St. Lawrence parish church. Many used to be stored in St. Mary’s (The Fortress Church) but were moved due to due to high relative humidity of the air in its interior, which does not provide appropriate conditions for keeping art.
• ST. JOHN CHURCH – CITY JELSA: In the southwest extension of the modest square in Jelsa you can find a hidden gem. The Renaissance-Baroque square is worthy of admiration, but the octagonal Church of St. John is particularly notable, with its different stylistic features from the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods.

The procession begins, following a 25-kilometre course into the early morning hours of Good Friday. Because each of the six groups starts from their respective churches and follow the course in a clockwise direction, the groups never meet.

Being on a boat gives you an invaluable sense of freedom, a connection to the sea, the simplicity of being. Experience unforgettable sea moments with us. The Adriatic Sea and the Elaphiti Islands are just magical.

HIDDEN BAYS
It is time for ‘fjaka’ /fyaka/ – escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Enjoy the beauties of the Adriatic, feel relaxed and safe in small isolated bays of the Elaphiti Islands. The Elaphiti Islands are the jewel of the Dubrovnik region. They are full of small hidden bays which can only be accessed from the sea.

Many of us have the fondest childhood memories of our islands and family trips. Explore with us the cliffs, islands and small bays in the vicinity of Dubrovnik. One of the most attractive places to visit is the Šunj beach at the island of Lopud, one of the most beautiful sandy beaches of the Elaphiti Islands. We’ll take you right there on board the Goldstar 360.

First we head towards the island of Koločep (the people of Dubrovnik call it Kalamota) and the Blue Cave, which can be entered by swimming. There is sand on the seabed that reflects light thus creating a special turquoise colour of the sea. After that special experience, we sail towards the island of Lopud and the Šunj beach.

Šunj is a favourite destination of excursionists. For all lovers of good photography, this trip is a great opportunity to take photos in nature (no filter needed). The sea, the sun, the islands, unspoiled nature and good company… ideal opportunity for (Instagram) memories.

And of course, when you’re on Šunj, you just have to play the popular “picigin” – just bring a ball and fun is guaranteed. After swimming and having fun on Šunj, we return to the hotel.

Dalmatians have a very unique tool to fight the summer heat called ‘’fjaka’’. The Croatian poet Jakša Fiamengo said that “fjaka is a specific state of mind and body. The sense of time becomes lost, and its very inertness and languor give the impression of a lightweight instant.

More precisely: it’s half somewhere and half nowhere, always somehow in between.” Fjaka is a sublime state in which a human aspires for nothing and feels good about it. In Dalmatia, it’s considered a gift from God. Set out with us to discover the hidden bays and relax. It is time for ‘’fjaka’’. Embrace it and you will love it.

In fact, just a little bit outside the centre of Brtonigla, when approaching the “Cavalier” vineyard area – the view rolls down the gentle valley towards green olive groves and the sea.

At the very end it meets the blue sea of Karigador and Punta, where peasants from Brtonigla used to come with their oxen and bring their whole families for big celebrations, to spend a well-deserved day off, exhausted from a stressful and difficult, but fulfilling, peasant life.

Another feature of Brtonigla is its strategic location, which allows you to reach all the most famous Istrian beaches and coves in a very short time: Novigrad in 10 minutes, Rovinj and Pula in a half-an-hour drive.

WINE ROADS
It seems that grape wine was brought to Istria as early as in ancient times by the Phoenicians and the Greeks. The native settlers, Histri, successfully mastered the skills of growing this noble plant, as well as producing wine.

In support of this there is s legend according to which the Argonauts, famous Greek seafarers, while searching for the Golden Fleece exclaimed kalavojna, which loosely translated means good wine in Greek. Where exactly did this happen? Along the eastern coast of Istria, in a place near Raša Bay, which bears this name even today.

To what does Istria owe its becoming synonymous with good wine? Human effort, of course, but above all the natural features that guarantee high quality grapes. These are the location, soil, climate and terrain, each contributing to the charms of good wine in their own right.

There are two dominant types of soil suitable for growing vines on the Istrian peninsula: red soil (terra rossa) and marl or flysch, known as white soil. Experts say that red soil is ideal for growing high-quality red grape varieties (which give stronger structured, serious wines), while flysch soils are suitable for white varieties, where wines retain their freshness along with fine fragrances, aromas and softness.

The hilly terrain with gentle slopes, abundant in Istria, are very favourable for growing grapes, especially the areas with more sun. In addition, high oscillations in day and night temperature further accentuate the scent of the wine.

Among the polychromous wine varieties found in this area, the most important one is white Istrian Malvasia. It is grown all over Istria and is an integral part of the region’s identity. The wine has a straw yellow colour, pleasant aroma of a locust flower, it’s harmonious, moderately fresh and has sufficient structure.

Another wine typical of Istria is Teran. Its colour is purple to ruby-red, with lively fruit aromas, it is very fresh and fragile and less structured. These two varieties are followed by Borgonja Crna (red burgundy), Hrvatica Crna and several less known varieties.

A number of world famous high quality varieties are grown here, such as Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Merlot, Refosco and Cabernet Sauvignon. Two varieties of a peculiar aroma attract the attention of wine lovers: Momjan Muscat and Muscat Rose of Poreč.

OLIVE OIL ROADS
Since ancient times Istria has always been defined by olives. The first written accounts related to our peninsula have to do precisely with olives, i.e. olive oil, and date back to ancient Greeks and Romans. Nothing can match its fluidity, it is an absolutely unparalleled symbol of the Mediterranean, health, gastronomic delight and peaceful old age.

Its flavour is unusually bitter, its aroma is exceptional and it blends excellently with the best of dishes. It is also the most valuable fat in human diet, a body care product, a cure for various ailments. On top of all, it is regarded by many as the elixir of life, a divine fruit, liquid gold.

TRUFFLES
An unseemly tuber of an unattractive form and an intense aroma – the truffle! This rare and expensive fungus that grows in the fertile Istrian soil is a real culinary treat.

BIKE TRAILS
You can get on two wheels from the hilly north to the coast, from the east to the west coast of Istria, riding along as many as 3.000 kilometres of hundreds of mapped bike trails. Some of them more or less developed, some of them still unmapped, they cover the entire Istrian peninsula like a spider web.Find out more about individual trails and download the map link.

SPORTS
Mild Istrian climate, fresh air and crystal clear sea provide the possibility of an active holiday all year round, both indoors and outdoors. These amenities have been recognized and used by many famous athletes who regularly come to the Istrian coast to work on their techniques while having a break from the competitions.

The hotels have all the necessary sports facilities – tennis courts and soccer fields, mini golf courses and athletic courts, as well as other grounds for team sports that provide top athletes with quality preparation.

RECREATION
Istria has numerous jogging and cross-country running routes through untouched nature, as well as bike trails, horseback riding tracks and other paths for “land” sports. Higher category hotels have fitness centres, indoor and outdoor pools, saunas and massage rooms.

CLIMBING & PARAGLIDING
The range of extreme sports in Istria will satisfy the “hunger” for adrenaline even of the most demanding individuals – paragliding and hang gliding, free climbing or professional rock climbing, hill running and mountain-bike rides on difficult trails, exploring caves, parachuting.

Located on the picturesque Adriatic coast, in the charming historic town of Trogir only 5 Km from Split airport, Brown Beach House offers an unrivaled Mediterranean experience. Housed within a former tobacco shipping station (“Duhanka”), the hotel’s majestic facade exudes a sense of eternal style.

Designed for the relaxing and lavish holiday, Brown Beach House is perfectly situated just a few steps away from the beach, combined with the soothing nature around it and a short walk from Trogir, one of the most beautiful towns in Croatia.

The hotel’s interior designer Saar Zafrir conceptualized a dream-like space that’s both hip and sophisticated. Every detail suggests to guests that it’s time to settle in and get comfortable.

The Brown Beach House offers 59 stylish rooms and suites, all of which are well-appointed with the details and trappings of a luxury getaway.

Architecture & Design
Our boutique hotel occupies a former 20th century tobacco warehouse. The building’s original details, such as the structure’s elegantly curved beams have been combined with hip, contemporary furnishings to create a stylized and cool atmosphere.

History & Architecture
At the end of the 19th century, planting tobacco was a feasible idea in Trogir region since the land was fertile, and in 1892 representatives of the Austrian Hungarian Tobacco Board came to visit Trogir Municipality and decided to start planting tobacco and to open buying and storing station.

Under Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austrian Hungarian throne, a suitable location was found in Čiovo, next to the Church of Our Lady by the sea.

Duhanka
The “Duhanka” building, now Brown Beach House, was planned and constructed by Zagar brothers and had a great significance for this region. This tobacco building proclaimed modern and avant-garde architecture. It has a basement, a ground floor and four high ceiling floors under a slanted roof.

The facade is decorated in rectangular shaped stones. The windows are rectangular, slightly elongated in a horizontal sense, except on the first floor where the ending is semi-circular.

In the past, there were three large rooms on each floor for storage; two rooms with an area of about 140 m² and one of about 240 m². The building was used in tobacco industry and ”Duhanka” tobacco company production of cigarettes filters operated here until 1982.

Style & Design
The Duhanka building was beautifully restored and combined with the hip, contemporary furnishings in 2016. The design concept was developed by Saar Zafrir, the Amsterdam-based designer whose portfolio includes luxury spaces and the hottest design hotel properties across Europe.

In Saar’s concepts many different elements are taken into consideration to create impressive designs which are at the same time intimate and different. He believes the initial story for the design comes from the location and inclines in connecting the hotel to the culture of the area.

The next crucial thing is paying attention to the details since they have great impact on the experience. This approach is very much visible in the design of the Brown Beach House, a sophisticated and luxurious yet unpretentious and cosy hotel.

The colours, materials and sublime details create a relaxing and warm environment, a perfect starting point for enjoying the wonders of the Adriatic seaside.

ABOUT HVAR

Hvar is one of the most beautiful islands of the Mediterranean, its hillsides are covered in pine forests, vineyards, olive groves, fruit orchards and lavender fields.

The island climate is characterized by mild winters and warm summers with 2718 hours of sunshine so it is no wonder that the island is known as the sunniest island in Croatia.

Hvar is situated at the center of the Adriatic sailing routes, which made this island an important base for commanding trade on the Adriatic.

The deep and tame bays of the island have enabled docking and communication already in the prehistoric times, originally inhabited by Neolithic people whose distinctive pottery gave rise to the term Hvar culture, and later by the Illyrians.

In medieval times, Hvar (city) rose to importance within the Venetian Empire as a major naval base. Prosperity brought culture and the arts, with one of the first public theatres in Europe, nobles’ palaces and many fine communal buildings.

After a brief time under Napoleonic rule, the island became part of the Austrian Empire, a more peaceful and prosperous time. In 2018 Hvar celebrated 150 years of organized tourism, with a focus on the natural and historical heritage that played a crucial role for the island’s development since 1868, when the Hygienic Society was founded.

This was what encouraged further development of the tourism branch, turning Hvar into a world-famous tourist destination that it is today.

1. STARI GRAD PLAIN

Also known as Ager. This unique plain remains almost untouched as it was 384 BC when the area was colonized by the Ancient Greeks.

The landscape features ancient stone walls and trims, as well as small stone shelters bearing testimony to the ancient geometrical system of land division, which has remained intact over 24 centuries.

2. PROCESSION ZA KRIŽEN

This unique tradition “Following the Cross” holds a deep spiritual connection with the island’s population, dating back to the 16th century. It takes place through the night on Maundy Thursday, passing through Jelsa, Pitve, Vrisnik, Svirče, Vrbanj and Vrboska.

Each of the six groups start at their church and follow the course in a clockwise direction, meaning that the groups never meet. The group is led by one cross-bearer, while other members are dressed in white tunics.

3. BENEDICTINE NUN’S ALOE LACE

Aloe lace is made in Croatia only by Benedictine nuns in the town of Hvar. Thin, white threads are obtained from the core of fresh aloe leaves and woven into a net or other pattern on a cardboard background. The resulting pieces are a symbol of Hvar.

4. MEDITERRANEAN DIET

The tradition of a healthy lifestyle and gastronomy on island Hvar can be dated back centuries. This is not a surprise due to all the fresh fish, seafood, home grown fruit and vegetables as well as wine made from sun kissed grapes, which all play a very large role in the Dalmatian diet.

5. KLAPA SINGING

This multipart singing is an expression of the cultural identity of Dalmatia as a whole, therefore including the island of Hvar. The leader of each singing group is the first tenor, followed by several tenori, baritoni and basi voices. During performances, the singers stand in a tight semicircle.

6. STONE WALLING

The art of dry-stone walling is something that is commonly used to separate land plots. Stone walling means the assembly of stones on top of each other without the use of any connection material, except sometimes soil. Locals call it “suhozid”.

CITY LANDMARKS

1. ST. STEPHEN’S CATHEDRAL – CITY HVAR

The square of St. Stephen locally known as the Pjaca is the largest main square in Dalmatia. It is bordered on the east side by the cathedral and bishop’s palace, on the west by Mandrač (a small port for boats) and to the northwest by the Leroj (clocktower) and the Loggia, which today form part of Hotel Palace Elisabeth.

The cathedral was completed in the 18th century, when it acquired its present appearance. The cathedral has many valuable works of art, altar paintings and altars in different colored marbles.

2. ARSENAL THEATRE – CITY HVAR

The Arsenal Theatre is one of the oldest public theatres in Europe and belongs to the highest category of protected monuments. The building dates from the 13th century but was completely renovated and completed in 1612 when it took its present form.

Today, it is one of the most imposing structures in the town. The theater is located on the first floor of the Arsenal which celebrated its 400th anniversary in 2012.

It owes its existence to the then Prince of Hvar Pietro Semitecolo who was inspired by Italian theatre. Priorly, it was used as a maintenance and storage building by the Venetian navy, which overwintered in Hvar harbor.

3. SPANISH FORTRESS – CITY HVAR

Towering way above the city of Hvar is the famous Spanish Fortress (Španjola), built in the early 16th century during the Venetian rule.

The poet Petar Hektorović and his age are brought back to life in the Hektorović Castle, located in Stari Grad. In fact, it is a fortified Renaissance villa, with some characteristics of a monastery.

The character of the man who created is reflected in its romantic park and fishpond and the stone inscriptions in which he explained certain aspects of his building venture and religious contemplations.

6. STARI GRAD PLAIN (HORA/AGER PHARIENSIS)

The most unusual testimony to the past which you will see in Stari Grad, leading towards the towns of Vrboska and Jelsa is the Stari Grad Plain. It was first colonized by the Greeks in the 4th century BC and remains practically intact since then.

It was one of the first forms of parcelization and it is enlisted as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The landscape features ancient stone walls and trims, as well as small stone shelters bearing testimony to the ancient geometrical system of land division.

7. THE FORTRESS CHURCH – CITY VRBOSKA

The church of St. Mary, which stands like a tall stone ship above the town, dominates Vrboska. Originally, it was quite small, but after two great Turkish invasions when Hvar, Stari Grad and Vrboska were destroyed it was transformed into a strong fortress.

It is worth climbing up the roof, where you can see how fortifications were organized. There is also a wonderful view of the town and the bay.

Some of the most valuable works of art, such as those by Paolo Veronese from the 16th century is kept in the St. Lawrence parish church.

In the southwest extension of the modest square in Jelsa you can find a hidden gem. The Renaissance-Baroque square is worthy of admiration, but the octagonal Church of St. John is particularly notable, with its different stylistic features from the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods.
