It was built in the 15th century on the site of a Romanesque church from the 13th century. Local masters who were known from Dubrovnik to Venice were engaged on its construction. On the wall behind the main altar is a large painting depicting St. Mark Bartholomew and Jerome, the first translator of the Bible into Latin. There is also the icon Our Lady of the 14th century, which is believed to have saved Korčula from the Turks in 1571.

He went out of his way to customise our tour for us and took us off the beaten track to get away from the crowds which is just what we wanted. From freshly picked oysters to perfectly cooked mussels, to boutique winery visits...this was a truly wonderful day. The cherry on the top was visiting a Mlicini Ano, a little farm in the mountains where we ate freshly made cheese, homemade wine, honey, and the best lamb in Croatia!“ Read more
