Dajla Abbey

The monastery complex encompasses several buildings, a manor house, a Baroque church, and extends over 400 hectares along the Adriatic coastline.

Greek monks constructed the original monastery in the 5th century, followed by Benedictine occupation in the 9th century until their departure in the 13th century.

The neoclassical mansion, designed by architect Le Terrier de Manetot in 1833, introduces French architectural elements to the Adriatic landscape.

The church of Saint John the Baptist opens for Sunday Mass, while a bicycle path connects the abbey to Novigrad through coastal routes.

A Baroque portal leads directly to a harbor mole, where visitors now gather for swimming and sunbathing activities.
