LACROMA (Serbo-Croatian Lokrum), an island 2 m. to the S. is remarkable for the beauty of its vegetation. It was a favourite resort of the Austrian crown prince Rudolph (1857-89), and of the archduke Maximilian, afterwards emperor of Mexico (1832– 67), who restored the chateau and park, in which are the ruins of an 11th century Benedictine monastery and a church, locally ascribed to Richard I. (1188-99).
