We tried to enter the church multiple times during our stay in Hvar and we were successful only one time. They don’t have hours posted and so it’s difficult to know when to come in. However, there was a wedding going on inside the courtyard of the church and we went in shortly after the ceremony. The church itself looks more like a storage facility for the wedding venue, which is the courtyard. Pretty strange if you ask me. But, the tower is beautiful and the courtyard is pretty neat with an interesting sculpture of a young woman being abducted, some gravestones underfoot, and some other stone reliefs/religious iconography. Probably better just to enjoy the tower and to photograph the outside than to worry about entering the courtyard.
The monastery and church of San Marco are mentioned for the first time in 1312 and today's remains date back to the 16th and 17th centuries. In this church, in 1525 the Dominican Vinko Pribojević gave his famous speech `` On the origin and vicissitudes of the Slavs ''. In the former church with three naves there are the tombs of the families of Hvar from the 15th to the 18th century and then it was also used for the meetings of the Grand Council. The monastery was suppressed in 1807 during the French administration. The apse of the church was converted into a chapel in the first half of the 19th century.
The church that is neglected to renovate, can't know its entrance, it feels mysterious.
Beautiful surroundings
