Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian, Lastovo

On the main altar is the painting of Saints Cosmas and Damian by the Italian Master Giovanni Lanfranco.

This expansion is evident on the church façade which has three separate roofs and a pediment crowned with three bell-towers in the shape of a belfry.

Along the church apse a sacristy was added in 1545, while the Neo-Gothic bell tower was completed in 1942, constructed from Lastovo stone.

The church treasury preserves silver and gold-plated Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo chalices, monstrances, candle lamps, candle holders and processional crosses as well as unique artworks such a Gothic-Renaissance chalice from the late 15th and early 16th century, the only preserved work by Pavko Antojević in the region.

Amongst the artworks, special emphasis is given to the Renaissance vessel used for holy water which was commissioned by Bonino De Boninis.
