Benedictine Monastery

Benedictine Monastery

If you're looking for a peaceful day out in Hvar, head to this Benedictine Monastery. Dating from 1485, the stone house became a convent in 1664, where nuns learned to make lace from dried agave leaves. There is a museum onsite that shows just how painstaking the lacemaking process really was.
