Church and monastery of St. Mary of the Angel

According to the legend, the first church and monastery of St. Mary of the Angel was built by the bishop Gaudencio in the 10th century. 

In the second half of 15th century descendants of the de Romeis family from Osor donated the church of St. Mary with a nearby house, some land and garden to the Franciscan brother Mate Bosniak, a refugee in the face of Turkish violence, who founded a monastery of the Third Franciscan order. 

The monastery was abandoned in 1841 and is ruined today.
