-Badija, the biggest and the most beautiful island in the Korcula archipelago
lies East of the town of Korcula.
-A stone monument shows that Romans were on the island.
-Badija was first mentioned in writing in a XIVth century testament by the priest
Vlaho Ivanovic from Korcula, who lived here as an ascetic monk.
The present Franciscan monastery and the church date from the XIVth century.
This island was both an oasis of peace, a paradise on earth, and an unprotected
source of booty for the numerous pirate ships which for centuries plundered valuables
from the church and the monastery.
