Description
The Franciscan Monastery in Gurdić in the city of Kotor was built by the Serbian Queen Jelena Anžujska (ca. 1230-1314) in 1288, when she brought the Franciscans from Dubrovnik to Kotor. Today in ruins (only the foundations remain), it was a single nave edifice with rectangular apse. It probably had a Gothic vault. On the Northern side was a sacristy with an apse (semicircular on the inside and three-sided on the outside. The monastery was ruined by the Venetians in the 17th century.
