The monastery is situated just above the church. It is the home of the friars of the Third Order of St. Francesco (TOR - Tertius Ordo Regularis).[1] They usually wear black habits and therefore they are known as the "Black friars".[2]
The Third order of St. Francesco in Zadar has a long history. In center of Zadar; they are first mentioned in a year of 1150.

So the friars moved to the monastery of St. John the Baptist which was situated only about hundred meters from its current place. They lived and worked there from 1541 to 1806.
