Church of St. Francis in Shibenik is a Gothic building from the second half of the 14th century, located within the historic city center. On the outside it is simple, with a lunette above the main entrance in which the remains of 14th-century fresco paintings can be seen. Inside there is an organ from 1762, which is the work of the famous organ builder Petar Nakich. Next to the church is a Franciscan monastery with a rich art collection. The library of the monastery preserves more than 140 incunabula, among them the "Shibenik Prayer" from 1375 - one of the oldest Croatian linguistic monuments.
