Samostan je dobio ime prema zaštitniku redovnika pavlina, koji su prije boravili u crkvici na istom mjestu, a kasnije otišli u Ugarsku. Prije četiristo godina samostan je bio kao lazaret i tamo su se brinuli za ljude oboljele kugom, i zato još uvijek otočić uz svoje ime Galevac ili Školjić ponekad se zove i Lazaret.
Samostan je nekad imao poznatu tiskaru u kojoj se tiskali hrvatski domoljubni tekstovi uz pomoć hrvatskog preporoditelja Ivo Prodana. Nakon Prvog svjetskog rata tiskara se morala prebaciti zbog talijanske vladavine u to vrijeme, ali poslije se opet vratila i radila još desetljećima. Nažalost nakon Drugog svjetskog rata pertizani Tita su razrušili tiskaru, ali njeni ostaci još uvijek ostali na teritoriju samostana. Sam Ivo Prodan je bio pokopan na groblju pored samostana.

The history of the monastery sent a spark to my heart as an historian. It was delighting to learn of the great history of the Monastery especially how the monastery was used like an infirmary. I was honored to see where the famous Ivo Prodan was buried, whose cemetery is next to the monastery. We took a walk around the plenty rooms in here as we marveled at the beautiful stonework carved into the mountainside. While inside, we had a view of the valley. It was a great experience.

I visited the place with my famil and it was worth the visit. We witnessed the marvelous beuty that the are holds with scenic views of the island. The tour took us through some fascinating things and the eye catching sculptures at St. Pavle were enjoyable . We also loved the paintings that occupied the place which were fabulous and the art work on the walls was top notch. We also went strolling around the monaster and visited the cemetar and the experirnce was unmatched. We had the chance of seeing some graveards trhat has an interesting history such as the monastery that dated back in time. I enjoyed the peace and calmness that was at the monastry and would loved to visit again and would aslo recommend a visit to the place.

We took photos of the amazing arts and paintings on the walls of the church. The walk through the old geezer was so relaxing and charming, it was an ideal place to calm my mind. As an art lover, i was amazed by the architectural designs of the buildings here. In the evening, the sunset set its dazzling rays on the building turning them very bright and a colour change to orange.Totally loved the place.

Located on an island, a boat ride is a must. I really enjoyed the boat ride. The monastery lies in ruins but one can still be able to picture its ancient architectural style and design. Visiting this place was magical. Seeing the view of the sea from the island was nice and it was an adventurous moment.

The history behind this place is impressive. It served as infirmary and later a printing press. The printing press currently is in ruins. I visited this church and its location and scenery was fascinating. It was a great opportunity for me to take a boat ride and it was a pleasant experience.
