The Church of St. Jerome and the area of the current Dominican monastery are a part of the large Augustinian monastery complex founded in 1315 by the feudal rulers of Rijeka, the Devinski counts, and was completed during the first half of the 15th century by their successors, the Walsee barons. The votive chapels of the Holy Trinity and of the Immaculate Conception are the most important gothic monuments in Rijeka. The Holy Trinity chapel was built by Rijeka's captain Martin Raunacher and his wife Margarit in 1450, whose emblems can be found on the cantilevers at the entrance to the chapel and the remains of the frescoes on the gothic ribbed vault are the evidence of the influence of the gothic cultural circle.
