Drakonjina špilja, Medieval cave sanctuary near Murvica, Croatia
The cave extends 5.7 meters in length and 2.5 meters in height, with natural rock formations cutting 80 centimeters into the mountain surface.
During the 15th century, monks carved religious symbols and a large dragon relief inside the cave, transforming it into a place of worship and residence.
The cave contains stone seats at the base of walls with shaped holes, indicating its past function as a gathering space for religious ceremonies.
Access to the cave requires joining an authorized guided tour from Bol or Murvica, as the entrance remains secured for preservation purposes.
The eastern section of the cave features carved human figures and bird nests positioned above what were once small chapel spaces.
