"The Church of All Saints existed even in the 13th century in the southeast part of the city, next to the city walls; it received its current Baroque appearance in the 18th century after various renovations. On its facade, there is a tall, modestly shaped bell tower from 1749. The single nave square interior of the Church has a triangular stone ciborium leaning on columns, completed at the beginning of the 16th century, similar to that found in the Cathedral. Behind the ciborium is a large wooden Baroque statue of the Grieving Mother of God (Pieta) from the end of the 18th century, the work of Austrian artist Rafael Donner. On the wall on the right side, is a polyptych painted in 1438-9 by the most respected Dalmatian artist at the time, Blaz Trogiranin. Next to the figure of the Grieving Mother of God, there are also images of small brothers in adoration; in the corners, there are pictures of the saints that this brotherhood respected greatly. To the left of the main altar is a large, engraved, and painted Byzantine crucifix from the 15th century.
