Supetar Cemetery and Petrinović Mausoleum

A cemetery on a wooded peninsula with a white-domed neo-Renaissance mausoleum, one of the most photographed sights in Supetar.

Set right by the shore on the small wooded peninsula of St Nicholas, Supetar's cemetery is one of the most special places in town – quiet, dignified and facing the sea. Here stands the Petrinović family mausoleum, a monumental neo-Renaissance tomb with a white dome, created by the sculptor Toma Rosandić in the early 20th century. The cemetery also holds early Christian sarcophagi and the remains of the basilica of St Nicholas, and many of its tombstones are the work of the sculptor Ivan Rendić.
