The Mediterranean Monastery Garden of St. Lawrence is a hidden gem that came back to life in 2007 after being forgotten for a century. Nestled within the St. Lawrence Monastery, it was beautifully restored under the guidance of architect Dragutin Kiš. This garden is one-of-a-kind in Croatia, offering a serene escape filled with fragrant Mediterranean herbs and a central water source that adds a tranquil touch.
Wandering through this garden feels like stepping into a peaceful sanctuary. The air is infused with the aromatic scents of rosemary, lavender, and sage, creating a calming atmosphere. It's a perfect spot for those seeking a moment of reflection or simply wanting to enjoy nature's beauty.
Interestingly, the garden also serves as a reminder of the area's rich history and the dedication to preserving cultural heritage. It's a lovely place to relax and soak in the serene surroundings, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring the region.
