Krapanj is the smallest and lowest of the inhabited Adriatic islands. This strange Croatian island, located about 300 meters from the coastal town of Brodarica, was bought in 1436 by the nobleman Djuric, who then gave it to the Franciscans. They built a monastery on the island of Krapanj, which later housed refugees frightened by Turkish invasions along the coast. Today, visitors to the island of Krapanj must see its Renaissance gallery. Over the years, in order to survive, the settlers developed the catch and trade of sea sponges. Today there is a museum of sponges on the island of Krapanj.
Krapanj Island is a place with an extremely preserved and authentic atmosphere. There is calm in the air and you will feel perfect if you sit in a beach cafe and chat with the locals or go for a walk on the beautiful city streets. A recommended experience is a visit to the monasteries that keep a close eye on ancient works of art - for example, the painting "The Last Supper" by Francesco da Santacroche, dating from the XVI century.
