Museum of Church Art
The outstanding Museum of Church Art in the Benedictine monastery opposite the Church of St Donat offers an impressive display of reliquaries and religious paintings. Along with the goldsmiths' works in the first hall, notice the 14th-century painting of the Madonna. She features again in the second hall, where the most notable works of her are a marble sculpture and Paolo Veneziani's painting.
On the 2nd floor you'll find 15th- and 16th-century sculptures and embroidery, and six pictures by the 15th-century Venetian painter Vittore Carpaccio.

Croatian Artists' Centre
The Croatian Artists' Centre is one of the few architectural works by Ivan Meštrović. The centre was built as an exhibition pavilion and then transformed into a mosque before finally becoming a showplace for contemporary Croatian artists. It may be slightly out of the way but the unusual architecture makes it worth the walk.
