Church
of Saint Jerolim and Eremitaž complex in 1487 the priest Nikola Barbeta established
Eremitaž (recluse monastery). Bishop delegate valier detected there 92 years
later two nuns - Katerinu Barbeta and Stanu Miličević. In curch of Saint Jerolim
these recusles used to pray and talk in Croatian, national language. The monastrey
is belived to have been left in 17 century and then it became a house for travellers,
actually a military hospital receving ships with sailors to be chacked for quarantiene
before getting a premission to enter the oldtown harbour.
At
that time a long and heavy chain was held over the sea between the house and
wind mill opposite to stop any coincidental visitors. Nowadays this splendid
restaurant with it's rich and important history still has a headline above the
easten entrance "Questa e casa per li viadanti" (This is the house for travellers).
Church of Saint Jerolim is decorated with a medieval relievo of Saint Jerolim
with lions in desert above the entrance door and also with a saying in latin
. From a seaside of church there was built a niche in 15. centuary with a statue
of Virgin as proteator of sailors.
