An Artistic and Architectural Treasure

Three-nave parish church of St. Jeronim in Pučišća was built on the southern side of the bay on the site of an older building from the 16th century. The Renaissance church was expanded in the middle of the 18th century and extended in 1856, when it received a new stone facade with classicist profiles. South-east of the church is the bell tower of Ignacio Macanović with a stone loggia, an attic and a finial bulb, built in the middle of the 18th century. The plastered interior is broken up by stone pylons and profiled arches and covered by a flat ceiling with stucco. In the church, the works of woodcarver Franja Čučić from the 16th century and the altar of St. A hand from the 17th century with a gilded carved antependium and a painting by the Venetian painter Sante Perando.
