Churches

Church of St. Mary Traverse


It is located east of Vodnjan-Dignano, outside the town. According to some sources, there was a small church here called Madonna della Fontana from the 12th century. A legend says, in 1229 St. Anthony of Padua stopped and founded a small monastery beside it. The existing building was constructed in 1615, when it was adapted and enlarged, which can be seen from the inscription on its front. This is a pilgrim church of the Conventual Franciscans. It is a one-nave church with a long apse and an elevated presbytery. The sacristy was built next to the western facade of the apse. The restauration workshop of the Croatian Restauration Institute is situated in the church.
