The Dominican Monastery is home to an attractive church and a modest museum that houses a collection of archeological artifacts and notable paintings. Examine ancient coins, maritime objects, religious items, and early manuscripts. Browse the small but interesting collection of artworks. This monastery was established in the 15th century on the site of an earlier bishop’s palace. Over the centuries, both the monastery and church have been added to and altered. Take particular note of the belfry this is among the more recent additions and was completed in the mid-18th century. Visit the monastery’s gallery to see the altar painting by Tintoretto, one of the masters of the 16th-century Venetian school. This work depicts the Madonna with child and saints and is the most valuable artwork on the site. Other important artworks displayed here include ceiling frescos by Croatian Baroque painter Tripo Kokolja, which can be found under the choir. The central fresco shows the order’s patron saint and founder, St. Dominic, with angels, while the images on either side depict other saints from the order. Find the museum’s historical collections in rooms leading off the cloisters. Exhibits here reveal details about Bol’s past. Inspect the various prehistoric items, Greek coins, paintings and icons on display. Look for the collection of robes used for mass and various manuscripts and written charters dating back as far as the 15th century. Reserve time to stroll around the pleasant garden grounds. Standing on the rocky edge of the Glavica peninsula, the monastery overlooks a pretty beach and provides stunning views across the Adriatic Sea to the island of Hvar. The Dominican Monastery is located on a promontory at the west end of Martinica Beach in Bol, on the south side of the island of Brač.

(59 reviews) Starting with the positive, this hotel truly shines when it comes to its proximity to the beach and local attractions. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful. However, our recent stay was unfortunately marred by a series of issues that impacted our experience. In one of our rooms, we encountered a clogged shower and a broken air conditioning unit, making for an uncomfortable stay. The refrigerator was also noticeably dirty upon arrival. In the second room, the AC unit was leaking. These maintenance issues are simply unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber. Considering we booked this hotel specifically for its beach amenities, we were severely let down, for two out of our four days, the hotel ran out of beach towels by 10 AM, with staff unable to provide any estimate for when more would be available. Furthermore, the hotel's beach chairs were completely claimed by 5 AM every morning, forcing us to pay for external chairs daily. This completely negated one of the primary reasons we chose this hotel. To compound these problems, the hotel staff seemed indifferent to our concerns. When we brought these issues to their attention, while they addressed them, there was a distinct lack of empathy or urgency to resolve them. A more friendly and proactive approach from the staff would have gone a long way in mitigating our frustration. While the location is undeniably a major draw, the multitude of problems was notable.
