Sveta Nedjelja, Coastal settlement on Hvar Island, Croatia
The settlement extends down steep cliffs from St Nikola peak at 626 meters elevation to the Adriatic Sea shore on southern Hvar Island.
The 15th-century Augustinian monastery above the settlement served as a spiritual center until 1787, leaving only the Church of Our Lady of the Snows standing.
Local residents maintain traditional Mediterranean activities including wine production, olive cultivation, fishing, and essential oil creation from local plants.
Access to Sveta Nedjelja requires driving through the Pitve-Zavala tunnel, with the nearest medical facilities located 20 minutes away in Jelsa.
The settlement contains numerous climbing routes on limestone cliffs and an underwater archaeological site featuring first-century Roman shipwreck remains.
