Culture and History
The Chapel of St. Teresa is located in the courtyard of the former Zmajević–Jakonja summer residence in Donja Lastva. The former summer residence complex preserves a surrounding wall with a vaulted portal. A paved path, lined with a stone colonnade, leads to the residential building within the former grounds. The family chapel of St. Teresa was built in 1934 by Don Äuro PeruÅ¡ina, the parish priest of Gornja and Donja Lastva. The family chapel was severely damaged in the 1979 earthquake.
The Chapel of St. Mihovil is located in the local cemetery of Donja Lastva near St. Roch's Church. Local residents built it in 1901 as a small building without an apse and with a single-part bell tower. A painting in the chapel depicts the saint in war attire, with wings and a spear.
St. Roch's Church stands on the seafront in Donja Lastva. It was built in 1901 over an older chapel that had been built by the noble Bolica family in the mid-16th century. The central altar contains a 19th-century painting by Mihailo Flori from PrÄanj. The Chapel of Our Lady of Carmel is located in the BaÅ¡ići area of Donja Lastva, directly by the sea. The Chapel of St. James stands on the former Dabinović–Makhovec estate in Donja Lastva; it is in ruins and overgrown.
