I gave it only one star because I think that a church should not have an entrance fee in order for you to go in it. I think it is ridiculous to think that you need to pay in able for you to pray on the church. I do admit that the inside of the church was really beautiful and although I do not have any proof of it because there was a sign on the entrance saying that taking of photos and videos inside of the church was forbidden because they claim that it was a holy place but for me it was less holy because I think it is wrong to have an entrance fee on any chuch. I paid for the entrance fee and on my way out, I also donated money. By the way, the reason I have one picture of a section of the inside of the church is I saw another lady tourist taking pictures and no one was reprimanding her so I took a picture of the real reason why people go to the church, it is because of Him, the sole reason why we go to churches. I think He is disappointed with the idea of entrance fees before you can enter the church even if the entrance fee was only 2 Euros. Not to brag but just ro make a point, I donated more than 2 Euros to this church on my way out. That is because I believe that there is no one bigger than Jesus and you can bet that He loves you yeah4x.

Ticket is 10 HKN but you can’t go up the tower. Might be more of a thing for people with a better knowledge of Christian history. Otherwise not much to see inside.

The church of Saint Stephen is a beautiful church on the main square of Hvar town. If you spend any time in Hvar town, you’ll see it. The bell tower and exterior/facade are iconic. It costs only 10 Kuna per person to enter, but you can’t take pictures inside the church. However, the inside has alters, niches, and chapels with lovely green, red, and black marble. Overall, worth the 10 Kuna and 20 minutes that it takes to have a look inside.

Interesting look from outside, but I don't remember too many countries where you need to pay to enter church! 10kn entrance, and I dont see that there is anything special to see

Visiting time is limited, so have a look if you see the doors are open. Its beauty is on the outside. The interior is rather sober & basic

Lovely. Certainty worth a drop in. 20 Kruna admission. The 4th church built on the sight it holds an interesting past.
