Ipotesi sull'ubicazione dei monasteri paleocristiani e altomedioevali nell'insenatura di Cherso

Just a few traces indicate the possible existence of five early Christian and early medieval churches in the Bay of Cres. They are situated in Pjaceta (small square), under the Franciscan monastery, on the site of the Benedictine Sisters of St. Peter monastery, on the site of the abandoned monastery of St. Stephen in the immediate vicinity of the coast at the Piskel location, and the monastery of an unknown patron saint on an elevated position next to the Renaissance tower. It seems that those monasteries were built on the remains of former villae rusticae, on the most fertile land of the deep Bay of Cres with the possibility of capturing rainwater and multiple sources of fresh and brackish water.
