Visovac Island - Our Lady of Mercy Monastery
Krka National Park offers sightseeing boat tours towards the lovely Krka Monastery, the Orthodox Dalmatian Eparchy’s spiritual centre, extraordinary Visovac Island and its 15th-century Franciscan monastery of Our Lady of Mercy.
Visovac is a little island owned by the Catholic Church, situated in the area of the lower flow of the river Krka between two waterfalls in Krka National Park – the Roski waterfall and Skradinski buk.
The island, transformed by the monks over centuries of diligent work into a charming dwelling full of trees, colourful flowers, fruits and vegetables, is an irresistible ongoing attraction for numerous pilgrims and tourists alike.
In perfect tranquillity, one can look at the valuable library of books and manuscripts enjoying the perfect peace and quiet. The collection also features a small selection of seventeenth-century paintings.
