The small island of Badija lies off the eastern shore of Korcula Island. The island is only 1 sq km / .4 sq mi but is the largest of the islands offshore from Korcula. On Badija is the San Franciscan Church and Monastery of Badija, which the island is named for. The monastery dates to the late 14th Century when a group of monks fleeing Bosnia settled here.
