Marko Andrijićbell from the nearby island of KorÄula started (and his brother finished) the monastery's bell tower around 1500. It serves as a prototype for many Dalmatian towers and it is not by accident that the Cathedral tower built 25 years later on the other side of the harbor resembles it. Only two monks live here now. The monastery is a museum today -- not just because of what it holds, but because of what the architects included in the construction.
