Košljun (island)

Košljun is a relatively small island in Puntarska Draga bay off the coast of Krk, facing Punat, in the Adriatic Sea, Croatia.

In addition to the statue, there is a text written in Glagolitic, located over the main entrance to the monastery, called, "Mir i Dobro" (peace and well-being), which is also dedicated to St. Francis.

In the monastery, there is an ethnographic collection, including articles used by farmers and fishermen on Krk from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.

As well as old masters (G. da Santacroce, F. Ughetto, Medulić and E. Jurič), the collection also includes works by more recent Croatian artists and sculptors such as: Dulčić, Bulić, Radauš, Orlić and Kršinić.

The monastery owns a rich library of some 15,000 books, which contains a Jewish Bible from the 11th century, Glagolitic sermons, and Ptolemy's Atlas, printed in Venice in 1511.
