Throughout the history monasteries used to keep valuable sacral objects  In the course of time, monasteries started  keeping other objects, too. The real beginning of the monastery collection dates back to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Especially important period  started in 1961 when father Vjeko Vrčić became the guardian of the monastery. Father Vjeko has been collecting archeological, sacral, ethnographical and other treasures from churches, attics and lumber rooms. In 1988, the monastery was restored. Assisted by employees of the Regional Institute for Protection of Cultural Monuments, collection was moved to its today's location
Today's exhibition area stretches across 180 square metres and you can visit it by appointment on the phone number 021 / 841 178  ( The parish office of Imotski).

Made of stone, the parish church was  built between 1861 and 1881 in Romanesque style. There are three portals at the facade and five altars inside the church. The main altar of white stone was made by the Italian sculptor Arturo Ferraroni. Stained-glass windows were painted by the famous artist Josip Botteri Dini. In front of the church, there is a monument made by the sculptor Josip Poljan, dedicated to the church builder father Stjepan Vrljić

This underground river rises in Glavina Donja. There are several river sources there and the biggest two are Opačac and Utopišće. The river is about 70 km long  and it changes its name five times while flowing through different areas. Depending on the area, it is called Vrljika, Matica, Tihaljina, Mlada and Trebižat. It flows through the territory of Bosnia and Herzegowina, too.

Two small round lakes are situated north  from the source of the Vrljika River. The lakes  are about 40 m in diameter and 6-10 m deep. They never dry up.

The Topana Fortress was built in the 10th century. In the past, it had a special strategic significance. It was mentioned several times in charters of Croatian and Bosnian kings. It was inhabited until 1816. Near the fortress, there is a church dedicated to Our Lady of Angels, the patron saint of Imotska krajina. The church was built in 1718. Several cultural and artistic events take place around the fortress during the summer, usually as  part of the repertory of „Imotska sila“, especially on Town Day, celebrated on August, 2nd. At the foot of the fortress, there is one of the most beautiful football stadiums, belonging to the second-division football club „Imotski“. Near the fortress , there is a monument, built by the sculptor Kruno Bošnjak, dedicated to all the victims of the Croatian War of Independence.

The Stairs of Imotski make a connection between the oldest part of Imotski, called Bazana,  with its newer parts. There are altogether 92 stairs, built by Venice at the end of the 18th century. On the first landing, there is a monument dedicated to the great Croatian poet Tin Ujević (1891-1955),  made  by the sculptor Kruno Bošnjak. The stairs end in Stjepana Radića Street which is adorned by a line of trees planted in 1933.

Red Lake is 1.5 km far from the town. This true Karst phenomenon was named Red Lake because of its reddish rocks. This deepest European hatch is 200 m in diameter. The water is about 300 m deep and its bottom is under the sea level. It was developed by implosion . It is composed of two Karst sink-holes which were formed in different periods during the geological development of this area. The older sink-hole is in the eastern part of the lake, and the younger one is actually the lake itself. In 1998, the lake was explored by about 50 speleologists who were  members of the great international expedition. In spite of all that, the ultimate depth of the lake hasn't been established. Due to its beauty, mystical quality and inaccessibility, it's been a subject of many stories and legends. The most famous is the one about Gavan and his palace. The Croatian writer Josip Eugen Tomić wrote several interesting verses about the lake in 1884.

Blue Lake, the favourite promenade and bathing place in Imotski, is situated next to the western outskirts of the town. This oval-shaped lake is about 800 m long and 400 m wide. The belvedere, overlooking the lake, is situated at the height of 380 m above the sea level. Ten serpent roads, built in 1904, lead from the belvedere to its clear water surface. Popular „birds of Imotski“, jumping from the neighbouring cliffs into the water, make a special summer tourist attraction.

Mr Braco Ćosić, a journalist from Imotski, described their „flight“ using the following verses:

The height, the deep blue
Cliffs crowded with children
Plenty of  beauty from Imotski
The lake birds
Clambering during the whole summer
Climbing, crawling up the steep.
And then they fly as if from the nest
Into the deep blue, into the depth.

The depth of Blue Lake changes throughout the year. In spring, the lake is usually about 100 m deep. In the late autumn, it sometimes even dries up. A football match is played on its silty bottom then.

As presumed, the grave of Hasanaginica is situated on the southwestern slopes of Blue Lake. An unknown poet from Imotski wrote a ballad poem about her love tragedy. Later on, the poem was translated into several languages by Alberto Fortis, Goethe, Puškin, W. Scott and many others. Except from the Bible, this ballad is the most often translated literary work in the world.
