The Tower of St. Justine

THE TOWER OF ST. JUSTINE – THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE UNIQUE RAB PANORAMIC VIEW

The tower was erected in 1672 with simple Baroque-style features and the arched dome as the last of the four Rab bell towers in a row, thus completing the unique, harmonious and distinctive panoramic view of Rab. The arched roof resembles the bishop mitra. There is a bell inside the bell tower dating back to 1354. It is divided into floors with small monoforas on each floor, larger ones on the second and bifras on the top.

THE YARD OF THE VILLA ANTONIETA - THE SITE WHERE SUMMER EVENTS TAKE PLACE

One can enter the Villa Antonieta through the ground floor of the bell tower and access the upper floors through the entrance on the choir area of the church. Inside the former convent, today you can see the yard where various events and concerts take place.

THE TOWER IS MISSING IN THE PANORAMIC PHOTO FROM THE 17TH C.

The tower is missing in a valuable panoramic photo of Rab made by an unknown artist dating back to the beginning of the 17th c., which is kept at the Church of St. Justine as part of the permanent display of the Sacral Art Museum. The reason behind it is rather simple. The twer was not built yet at that time.
