This monastery complex is of particular importance for the cultural and historical heritage of the island of Pašman because it is directly connected with the Croatian medieval state, that is, with the ruler Peter Kresimir IV. It is located in the southern part of the island, on Ćokovac hill, 2 km northwest of Tkon.
Church of St. Cosmas and Damian was first mentioned around 1070 when Croatian King Petar Kresimir IV. granted the right to the church and surrounding subdivisions to the monastery of St. John the Evangelist in Biograd.

The island of Pašman – history
A long time ago, in the deep past, the island of Pašman was settled in the ring of islands, islets and rocks of the Zadar archipelago. He shared with them through the centuries all the privileges and hardships that carry the sea, wind and sun – parents who give each islander pure love and life inspiration in exchange for eternal loyalty and respect. At every historical juncture, the life of the people on the island of Pašman was “bread with seven crusts”, from ancient prehistoric times, through the ancient Liburnians, Romans and Croats until today.
