Velesovo Monastery

The Velesovo Monastery, a Dominican convent, was developed around the local church, dedicated to the Annunciation. It was founded by the Patriarchate of Aquileia in 1238, but was badly damaged in 1471 during an Ottoman raid. The current building, what was the eastern wing of the original monastery, dates to the first half of the 18th century and was erected upon the plans of the constructor expert Gregor Maček, Jr.. It houses the local school, the parish offices, and a number of residences.[3] The Baroque church of the monastery was erected in the second half of the 18th century upon the plans of the architect Candido Zulliani. It contains the oldest Medieval statue in Slovenia, the Velesovo Madonna, dated to ca. 1220. The statue is a painted wooden Romanesque sculpture about half a meter tall from about 1220.

gollark: The color of the thing as seen by a camera (or your eyes) depends on lighting conditions and what's near it and configuration and such.
gollark: Yes. The "RGB value" of a surface doesn't really... exist, see.
gollark: You're welcome. Our serotonin injector nanobots really are great and so ethical.
