The Franciscan monastery in Porat is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene. In the beginning, this was the site of a small chapel with a few monks arriving from Glavotok. However, with the arrival of the Venetians after 1480, a real Franciscan monastery was founded. The church and the monastery have late Gothic and Renaissance stylistic features, with their construction beginning already in the first decades of the 15th century. The ribbed vault of the church sanctuary represents the earliest stage of the construction. The altarpiece from the main altar represents a significant work of art by Girolamo da Santacroce, showing the monastery patron St Mary Magdalene, as well as St John the Baptist, St Gregory the Pope, St Francis of Assisi, St Quirin and the Virgin Mary. In 1557, the church and the altar were dedicated, so it is assumed that the church was completed.
This Third Order monastery, just like the one on Glavotok, is largely responsible for the preservation of the Glagolitic tradition on the island. Old Slavic language and the Glagolitic script were used in the monasteries, both in liturgy and other ceremonial and internal prayers. This is why they were called Glagolitic monks, fraters Illirici. Today in the monastery atrium there is a lapidarium which represents the rich Glagolitic legacy of the island of Krk.

On today’s road from Omišalj towards Krk, near Malinska, there is a narrow path through the thick forest leading to an important archaeological site on the island of Krk called Cickini. This is where the remains of a Roman village from the 1st and 2nd century and a church from the 6th century were found. The church has a single nave and the form of a Latin cross. A vestibule (narthex) and a baptistery with the baptismal font, emphasizing its significance in the progression of Christianity to the island of Krk, were also found. It is assumed that the church was dedicated to St Cyprian. It was abandoned in the Middle Ages, although there are traces of a later short-term revival, but not in its original dimensions.
In the village of Sv Vid-Miholjice, near Malinska, there is a small museum display which encompasses all stone reliefs and other decorations found during the research at the site Cickini.

The island of Košljun is a real gem situated in the bay in front of Punat. It was picturesquely described by the friar Mavro Velnić: “Being on Krk without seeing Košljun is like being in Rome without seeing the Pope.”
In the central part of the island, with a circumference of merely 1075 meters, elevated only six meters above the sea, there is the Franciscan monastery with a representative Renaissance church and a cloister. The church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary was completed in 1523 at the site of an older Romanesque church. It is richly adorned with two artistic breath-taking works of art. The triumphal arch of the church is decorated by 9.7-meter artistic composition by the Venetian master Francesco Ughetto showing the Last Judgement (Heaven, Purgatory and Hell) with a total of 123 figures. The other work that should be mentioned is the altar polyptych from 1535 by Girolamo da Santacroce, a Venetian master who left a large part of his artistic opus on the eastern Adriatic coast. Within the complex there is the museum display, a rich ethnographic, archaeological and sacral collection, as well as a library. The museum contains the famous geographical map by Claudius Ptolemy, a Greek astronomer and geographer from the 2nd century, printed in Venice in 1511.

Vrbnik is undoubtedly one of the most famous Croatian villages. It became famous thanks to its Glagolitic heritage and famous popular song with its special melody and content which is played and arranged in variety of performances and is called “Vrbniče nad morem” (Vrbnik above the sea).
As with the other castles on the island, Vrbnik too is, situated high up, at almost 50 metres and on truly special place, on a cliff that literally dives into the sea. With Šilo, located in the area of Dobrinj, it is the only large village on the east coast of the island of Krk. It was first mentioned in 1100. The inhabitants were mainly farmers, then navigators and fishermen.
Today the most important product of Vrbnik's fields and of Vrbnik in general, is its golden yellow wine - the Žlahtina; which has become famous even in wider Croatian circles.
According to stories told by the old people of Vrbnik, before the wine became famous, the fields were cultivated with cereals in order to feed the local families that were larger than those today. In such conditions the grapevine was cultivated on the edge of the fields as the wine market did not yet exist and wine was only produced for personal needs.
Vrbnik is still principally an excursionist village, which is a kind of advantage, even though it provides accommodation in the rooms and apartments of private houses as well as in a number of hotels.
With its rich history, Vrbnik is known as the cradle of Croatian literacy and it is surely one of the oldest villages on the island of Krk.
Narrow streets prevail in Vrbnik, so it is not strange that the world's narrowest street should be located exactly here.
Blaž Baromić was the founder of the first famous Croatian glagolitic printing-house in Senj, through which he greatly contributed to Croatia's cultural heritage. As he was born in Vrbnik, a monument was raised in his honour.

The remains of the still magnificent old Christian basilica, called Mira, built in the 5th century, rise on a flat plateau of the cove Sepen. It stands there as a reminder of the first indications of Christianity on the island of Krk. The layout of the church has the shape of the Latin cross, the symbol of Christianity. The remains of the cross confession (a symbolic tomb where saint relics used to be kept) are located within an inscribed apse, above which there was an altar. The narthex (vestibule), situated in the west, contained tombs, among which there was a sarcophagus. Along the basilica, towards the sea, there is a cloister enclosed by a thick wall with two high towers, only partially preserved. The original appearance of the church was entirely preserved so this structure is a valuable and rare “living” witness of its time.
A hundred meters to the west of the large old Christian basilica, there are the remains of a smaller church and a modest monastery complex. They emerged in the 9th century by reconstruction of the Roman thermae from the 1st – 2nd century. The hypocaust of the thermae can still be seen today under the wooden bridge on the promenade along the sea.
The church with its dimensions is a modest edifice of a unique volume, with three apses enclosed within its flat back wall. On the southern side there is a memorial cella, with an apse also inscribed into the flat back wall. The remains of the monastery rooms were found to the west of the church.

The church of St Lucia is located in Jurandvor, a small village to the north of Baška. The church emerged in the High Middle Ages, during the Romanesque period, as a single-nave structure with a prominent semicircular apse and a bell tower on the façade. The walls around the church are the remains of a Benedictine monastery which contained this sacral structure. Archaeological research established that the monastery and the church emerged on an earlier antique farm building. The finding which made the church of St Lucia widely famous is located within the building.
On the tablet of the altar wall there is the inscription known as the Baška tablet. This stone tablet is one of the oldest monuments of Croatian history. It contains thirteen lines in old Croatian language, mentioning the word “Croatian” and the name of the king Zvonimir. It dates back to 1100. The script, with which it was written, called the Glagolitic script, is completely different from the Latin script. Besides the Latin script, the Glagolitic script was used until the 19th century. The original tablet was moved to Zagreb in 1934 and is located in the hall of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts. Today the Glagolitic script has become a trademark of Baška, which is witnessed by large sculptures shaped like Glagolitic letters placed along the road leading to Baška.

Omišalj will welcome you with its picturesque historic center, which is located on an 85-metre-high cliff and where you can explore an exceptional cultural and historical heritage and experience the spirit of times gone by. There is also an attractive coast with hotels, beaches and a marina.
Thanks to its mild climate and excellent position close to the bridge, the airport and the city of Rijeka, Omišalj is a vibrant tourist destination with a tradition dating back more than 100 years.
The town has a long history: in around 1,000 BC, the area was inhabited by the Illyrians, and after that by the Romans, while the 7th century AD saw the arrival of the Croats. In the 11th century, Omišalj was an important Glagolitic centre; in the 12th century, it was mentioned as Castri musculi (from the Latin Ad musculi – a place for mussels), and in the 15th century the Frankopans, the Princes of Krk, built one of their four castles here.
Omišalj is today a town full of historic monuments and has a rich cultural and architectural heritage. This is attested to by the ruins of the Roman town of Fulfinum from the 1st century AD, the Early Christian basilica of Mirine from the 5th century AD, and many other cultural monuments.
Omišalj prides itself on its early medieval reliefs. You'll find more of them here than in certain European countries!
