Monastery of St. Michael above Lim
Legend has it that the Monastery of St. Michael above Lim was founded at the beginning of the 11th century by St. Romuald, who had previously lived as a hermit in a cave in the Lim Channel. From the once very powerful and influential abbey, only ruins remain today. In the church of St. Michael the remains of Romanesque frescoes, the oldest frescoes in Istria, have been preserved. The frescoes can be dated to the first half of the 11th century and are probably the best-preserved frescoes in Europe created as part of South German monumental painting circle.

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.

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.
