Summary

Dutić is a small hermitage monastery of devout women, known locally as picokare, west of Dračeva luka. Sources associate it with a dedication to St Catherine and its foundation by the priest Marin de Kapitaneis for his niece Justina.

Only the foundations of the former buildings and a small chapel survive today; the point is an approximate guide, not a confirmed entrance.

History and purpose

Dutić Monastery of the Picokare belongs to the group of hermitage communities around Murvica. A scholarly study dates its foundation to around 1512, names the priest Marin de Kapitaneis as its founder and identifies his niece Justina as the community's first superior.

Structure and traces of the past

Sources associate Dutić with St Catherine and describe it as a place where devout women known as picokare lived. Historical records also document its property, but today only the foundations of the former buildings and chapel are visible.

Access and visiting

The site lies in a secluded area west of Dračeva luka. Given its ruinous condition and the possibility of private or inaccessible sections, check that access is lawful and safe before visiting.
