Saint Francis Monastery Cemetery

During the early 13th century, Saint Francis of Assisi established the Order of Friars Minor, better known as Franciscans. Shortly after his death in 1226, the friars began to establish missionaries across Albania. The first one in Kotor started in 1283. Five years later, they built a monastery near the Gurdić , the South Gate. It was destroyed in 1667. All that remains are the ruins of the buildings and many headstones. This monastery lies on the right-hand side on the outside the Old Town of Kotor, Montenegro, which is a World UNESCO Heritage site.
