Church of St John on Osinj Island, Slivno Ravno

The islet of Osinj lies in the eastern part of the Neretva delta, in front of the mouth of the Mala Neretva and the hamlet of Blace. On it stands the Church of St John the Baptist, built in the 14th or 15th century on the remains of an ancient building. It is single-nave, with a semicircular apse, and is built of irregularly dressed stone.

The interior of the nave is covered by a Gothic vault with a sharply pointed arch. A small hermit's dwelling was also built next to the church. The church and the dwelling collapsed during Turkish rule. The cultural good spans the period from the 6th to the 15th century.

The church is a protected cultural good, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-6205.
