Ćokovac monastery

The Ćokovac monastery stands on a hill near Tkon on Pašman Island, featuring medieval stone walls and a Gothic church dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian.

Founded in 1125, the monastery relocated from Biograd to Pašman Island in 1129, where monks constructed a new Romanesque structure later rebuilt in Gothic style.

The monastery contains a 15th-century painted crucifix by Menegelo Ivanov de Canali and stone fragments with Glagolitic script inscriptions in its lapidarium.

Visitors can access the monastery Monday through Saturday, exploring the courtyard, Gothic church, and small lapidarium containing historical artifacts from different periods.

This monastery remains the only active male Benedictine monastery in Croatia, where six monks gather seven times daily for liturgical services.
