The Franciscan Monastery of Our Lady of the Angels sits on a rocky hillside above the town, a half-hour walk up a steep path through pine trees from the waterfront. The monastery church contains ex-votos left by sailors who survived storms — small painted panels depicting ships in distress, some of them remarkably vivid — and a revered 15th-century icon of the Virgin that has been the focus of pilgrimage for centuries.
The views from the terrace in front of the monastery are the best in the area: the channel, the island of Korčula, and on clear days the mountains of the Croatian interior. The monks are hospitable; the small shop sells local honey and liqueurs. The path up from town is shaded for most of its length, which makes it tolerable even in summer heat.
