Der Legende nach wurde das Kloster St. Michael oberhalb von Lim zu Beginn des 11. Jahrhunderts vom Heiligen Romuald gegründet, der zuvor als Einsiedler in einer Höhle im Lim Kanal gelebt hatte. Von der einst sehr mächtigen und einflussreichen Abtei sind heute nur noch Ruinen übrig. In der St. Michael Kirche sind die Reste romanischer Fresken erhalten, die ältesten Fresken Istriens erhalten, die man sich anschauen kann. Die Fresken gehen auf die erste Hälfte des 11. Jahrhunderts zurück und sind wahrscheinlich die am besten erhaltenen Fresken in Europa, die im Rahmen des süddeutschen Monumentalmalereikreises entstanden sind.

An interesting place for photoshoots. We were delighted by the designs in there especially the interior of the monastery and even took photos of the designs as a way of remembering it.

This church was built in the 11th century. I enjoyed touring it and seeing the frescoes of St. Michael. The peace at this place was mesmerizing and relaxing.

The monastary of St Michael is a great place with frescoes paintings. My husband was amazed about this place because the painters used many colors in drawing and painting without having any error. Wonderful.
