Our Lady of Angels

Our Lady of the Angel (Croatian: Gospa od Anđela) is a monastery near Orebić, a town on the Pelješac peninsula, in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia.

The monastery was built at the end of the 16th century under the Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik), to which the town of Orebić belonged between 1333 and 1806.

[1] The monastery is surrounded by dense pinewood forests and is located on a craggy stone crest 152 metres above the sea.

German prince Philipp of Coburg stayed at the monastery in 1905, and the British writer Seaton Watson was there in 1913.

Seamen passing under the monastery traditionally greeted it with three calls on their ship sirens,[3] and then the Franciscans answered with their church bells, producing a brilliant sound.
