The treasury of the Franciscan monastery keeps the smallest book in the world that contains the prayer of "Our Father" in seven languages.
The book was printed on a Gutenberg machine (in Mainz) the dimensions of the book are 3.5 × 3.5 mm.
The island of Visovac is widely known for its lush nature, which has always been a Franciscan priority, and in this way they have distinguished themselves as caring growers of various plant cultures.
Today, the island is home to more than 195 plant species, of which 80 are cultivated.
In addition to exotic plants, the island is no less interesting animals, so between the tall apple trees you can enjoy the view of peacocks that proudly spread their colorful tails, this one is on the roof.
There is still a home for chickens, ducks, geese, turtles and many other birds that lives there.
