Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments
Dedicated to Croatian religious art from between the 7th and 12th centuries, this museum displays some charming stone carvings taken from early churches and decorated with plait-work motifs, reminiscent of Celtic art. Outside, in front of the museum, stand several stečci, stone tombstones attributed to the Bogomils, a curious religious sect that was popular in the Balkans in the 10th century, most notably in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The museum is about a 15-minute walk along the coast west of the Old Town, also accessible by bus 12.
