In this Sumartin monastery many well known Franciscans took residence, like, for example the author Andrija Stancic, the popular abbot, our prominent historical poet and the poet of history, the Rev. Anrija Kacic-Miosic and the famous opponent of the French policy in Dalmatia and a great patriot the Rev. Andrija Dorotic.
Later on, disappointed with some actions taken by Austria which did not unite Dalmatia to the rest of Croatia, he spent the rest of his life in the loneliness of Vranji rac, where we can still see his house standing on the right side of the road to Selca.
The building was initiated by Rev. AndrijaKacicMiosic in 1747, when he was elected abbot there (in 1745 to 1700).
