sveta nedjelja

Sv. Nedjelja lies on a sheer cliff at the foot of Sv. Nikola (St. Nicholas) (626 metres) the highest peak of the island, below a cave which was inhabited back in neolithic times and which in the Middle Ages served as the site for an Augustinian monastery. The monastery , which existed from the 15th century to 1787, was built in a large opening of the cave where there is also a spring. Today, only the monastery church and a part of a shell of a house are preserved.

From the sea, the village, which lies half way to the cave, is reached by a winding path which snakes up through a pine woods. A new church was built in the village this century. It has a painting " St. Jerome and the Saints" by Baldassare d'Anna, and a crucifix by Juraj Plancic (1899-1930). Sv.Nedjelja is famous for its good quality wine "PLAVAC".
