Stands on a hillside of the Velebit Mountain, beneath Tulove Grede. It was built by the Austrian emperor Francis I in 1832, in memory of a newly built road that connected south and north Croatia over the karst Velebit Mountain.

The most beautiful church decoration was the altar painting of St. Francis shows Assisi beggar receiving the stigmata from Christ.

Today the painting is exhibited in the Museum of Fine Arts in Split.
