What you'll see
A small monastery on the water's edge at the end of the harbour walk, with a quiet cloister, a garden with a very old cypress and a museum whose best-known piece is a large painting of the Last Supper.
A brief history
The friars built it in the 1400s on the spot where sailors had prayed at a chapel before setting out to sea.
