Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian

The church features three distinct roofs, a pediment topped with three bell towers, and a neo-Gothic bell tower constructed from local stone in 1942.

The original church from the 5th century was replaced by the current structure, with Master Radosan completing significant renovations in May 1473.

The main altar displays paintings of Saint Blaise alongside Saints Cosmas and Damian, while a Venetian-painted Pietà from 1545 enriches the interior.

The church stands in what was formerly the main town square of Lastovo, positioned inland as a protective measure against historical pirate raids.

The church treasury contains a Gothic-Renaissance chalice from the late 15th century, along with silver and gold-plated religious artifacts.
