About
Church of St. Madone Traversa is located east of the Vodnjan city center. Legend has it that this spot in the 12th century featured a small church of St. Maria of Spring. In 1229 St. Anthony of Padua visited here and founded a small monastery next to the church. Once a large cistern was located here that served as a water supply for monks and the people from the surrounding area.
