ZADAR - Monastery of Saint Francis Assisi

The monastery, along with a church of the same name, was built around 1221. The church is the oldest Gothic church in Dalmatia. Behind the main altar dating from 1672 lies what was once a chapel and inside choir seats richly decorated with fretwork in Gothic style from 1394 by Giacomo da Borgo Sansepolcro. The sacristy, which follows from the choir area, is important in Croatian history, because in 1358 the Venetian Republic and the Hungarian-Croatian king Louis I signed the Treaty of Zadar in which the Venetians gave up their Dalmatian holdings.
