Geocache Description:


🇺🇸 🇬🇧 English – ⛪ Gradina Monastery & Historic Cape

Welcome to the historic Cape Gradina near Jelsa, where you are looking for a PET tube.

This peaceful place combines history, spirituality and beautiful views over the Adriatic, making it well worth a visit.

⛪ The Augustinian Monastery of Gradina

At the beginning of the 17th century, an Augustinian church and monastery were built here on Cape Gradina. It was one of only four Augustinian monasteries on the island of Hvar, alongside those in Hvar Town, Sveta Nedjelja and Sućuraj.

The Augustinian Order was dissolved during the 18th century, and today the site serves as the local cemetery, preserving the quiet and contemplative atmosphere of this historic place.

Historian Niko Duboković noted that the site was already known as Gradina before the monastery was built. This suggests that the name refers to an even older settlement or ruined fortification that once stood here.

Please enjoy this special place with the respect it deserves.

Happy caching!


🇭🇷 Hrvatski – ⛪ Samostan Gradina i povijesni rt

Dobrodošli na povijesni rt Gradina pokraj Jelse, gdje tražite PET tubu.

Ovo mirno mjesto spaja bogatu povijest, duhovnost i prekrasan pogled na more te svakako zaslužuje vaš posjet.

⛪ Augustinski samostan na Gradini

Početkom 17. stoljeća na rtu Gradina izgrađeni su augustinska crkva i samostan. Bio je to jedan od samo četiri augustinska samostana na otoku Hvaru, uz Hvar, Svetu Nedjelju i Sućuraj.

Augustinski red ukinut je tijekom 18. stoljeća, a na ovom se mjestu danas nalazi mjesno groblje koje i dalje čuva mir i dostojanstvo ovog povijesnog prostora.

Povjesničar Niko Duboković navodi kako se ovo mjesto zvalo Gradina i prije gradnje samostana. To upućuje na zaključak da su se ovdje nekada nalazili ostaci starije utvrde ili naselja po kojem je rt dobio ime.

Uživajte u ovom posebnom mjestu i pokažite mu poštovanje koje zaslužuje.

Sretno u potrazi!


🇩🇪 Deutsch – ⛪ Kloster Gradina & historisches Kap

Willkommen am historischen Kap Gradina bei Jelsa, wo euch ein PETling erwartet.

Dieser ruhige Ort verbindet Geschichte, Spiritualität und einen wunderschönen Blick auf die Adria und lädt dazu ein, einen Moment innezuhalten.

⛪ Das Augustinerkloster von Gradina

Zu Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts wurden auf dem Kap Gradina eine Augustinerkirche und ein Augustinerkloster errichtet. Es war eines von nur vier Augustinerklöstern auf der Insel Hvar, neben den Klöstern in Hvar, Sveta Nedjelja und Sućuraj.

Der Augustinerorden wurde im 18. Jahrhundert aufgehoben. Heute befindet sich an dieser Stelle der örtliche Friedhof, der die ruhige und würdevolle Atmosphäre dieses historischen Ortes bewahrt.

Der Historiker Niko Duboković erwähnt, dass der Ort bereits Gradina hieß, bevor das Kloster errichtet wurde. Dies lässt vermuten, dass sich hier schon zuvor die Überreste einer älteren Siedlung oder Befestigungsanlage befanden, nach der das Kap benannt wurde.

Nehmt euch einen Moment Zeit, diesen besonderen Ort zu genießen und behandelt ihn mit dem gebotenen Respekt.

Viel Spaß beim Suchen und Entdecken!
