"Crkva sv. Frane" Top 5 Page for this destination Zadar Favorite Tip by croisbeauty

Favorite thing: Saint Francis church, from 1283, is the oldest Dalmatian church built in Gothic style. This style is so-called type of Gothic monastic church characterized by single nave with a raised shrine. The church was renewed in the 18th century, completely changing appearance.
The sacristy of the San Francis is very important for the Croatian history because it was there that the peace was made between the Venetian Republic and Hungarian-Croatian King Ludovik Anzuvinac and by that act the Venetians gave up their pretensions to Dalmatia.
South from the church is also a Renaissance cloister, built in 1556, with a rich library.
