Garden of St. Lovro in Šibenik

Garden of St. Lovro in Šibenik is a hidden gem in the city center. If you rent accommodation in Šibenik, you will find it in the heart of the city, wandering through stone alleys and streets, through a labyrinth where traces of modern life are lost, and the romance of historical events in this area is discovered. The monastic Mediterranean Garden of St. Lawrence is the heart of 17th-century romance, a place for love and the awakening of the senses amidst the aromas of untamed Mediterranean herbs beneath the walls of St. Michaels Fortress. Starting from the fortress, you will descend to the garden in a few minutes, climbing a bit more from Poljana, each step filled with the sweet breath of longing and beautiful views from the stone heart of Šibenik. The Garden of St. Lawrence is part of the monastery, renovated in 2007 and redesigned to welcome us with a charming cafe at the entrance. The terrace of the establishment is surrounded by plantings of local herbs and medicinal plants, with a well marking the center of the garden. Walking through the narrow streets of Šibenik core, it is almost impossible to imagine that many walls, with tiny windows closing off the views, conceal lush courtyards and gardens. The Garden of St. Lovro in Šibenik is the only garden of its kind in Croatia, an attraction that leaves no one indifferent.
