Rab - Church of St Justin and the Museum of Sacred Art Crkva Sv Justina i Muzej Sakralne Umjetnosti

The Church of St Justin (Crkva Sv Justina) was constructed in the 16th Century and was originally a Benedictine convent for young women of from common families. This ended in the early 1800s when the Church of St Justin was dissolved, and the women were sent to St Andrews church. The former Church of St Andrew now holds the Museum of Sacred Art (Muzej Sakralne Umetnosti). One of the main pieces in the museum is the 12 Century crucifix of King Koloman. There are also a number of religious paintings, murals, and texts on display at the Museum of Sacred Art.

Attached to the church is a 17th Century bell tower.
