Sažetak
The Benedictine nuns were the first female religious community in the history of Rijeka. From the middle of the seventeenth century until the First World War, they were housed in a monastery next to the church of St Roch, in the heart of the city. From that time until 1948, they were moved to the newly built monastery in Podmurvice, after which the church of St Joseph. During the Italian exodus, after World War II, Benedictine nuns, along with most other monks and clergy, left Rijeka. They found refuge in the monastery of St Daniel in Abano Terme, which was connected with the Benedictine abbey in Praglia. In this exodus, the Benedictine nuns took their archives, which caused a situation in which researchers were unable to investigate the history of this monastery, although it was very important for the history of education in Rijeka. Therefore, based on preserved documents from the monastery archives, the author of the article reconstructs the chronotax of the nuns of the Benedictine nuns from the period of the founding of the community (1663) to the present day. In addition, the author brings various news from the history of the monastery. The reconstructed chronotaxis suggests that several nuns, due to the length of their service, significantly marked the history of Rijeka's Benedictine nuns. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, most nuns were of noble origin, and most of them were from Rijeka or the surrounding area. However, some of them also come from Slovenia, Austria, and Italy.
