The church of St Anthony of Padua in Dragljane, in the municipality of Vrgorac, is interesting because of the medieval stećci built into its walls. It is a reminder that the ground around the church was once a cemetery.
It is a single-nave building with a rectangular apse, and its axis runs from east to west. The apse is actually an earlier church, enlarged in 1779, while it acquired its present form in 1821. Several stećci are built into the apse part, some of them decorated, from which it is concluded that the site is also a medieval archaeological locality. Inside are two altars from the Rako workshop from Imotski.
The church is a protected cultural good, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-3842.
