Dominikanski Samostan is a Dominican monastery, convent and church. It is located along a road called Put Svetog Nikole a short distance from Old Town Korčula. This bell tower has a commanding view of the water so it is appropriate the namesake of this Roman Catholic complex is Saint Nicholas. Nikolaos of Myra is the patron saint of sailors and fishermen. The first monastery here was finished in 1501. But after it was destroyed by the Ottoman Turks 70 years later, it was rebuilt in the mid-17th century and then restored in 1750.
