Kosljun Monastery

Krk Cathedral, first mentioned in 1186, is a primitive Christian basilica with three naves located in a complex of sacred buildings including the Romanesque church of Saint-Quirinus (12th century), a bell tower (16th century), the Chapel of Saint Barbara.

The church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, probably built in the 13th century, is bordered by chapels dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. The bell tower was built in 1527, as shown by the Glagolitic inscription at its entrance. On the main altar of the church is a magnificent altar made of gilded wood from the Renaissance.

The Concathedral of Senj was built in 1169 in the style of a Romanesque basilica with a single nave. The building rests on the foundations of a pagan temple from the 4th and 5th centuries, the remains of which are still visible at the back of the sanctuary. The façade and the south side of the cathedral, in the mid-18th century, were decorated with Romanesque arches and brick niches. During the Second World War, the cathedral was severely damaged. The present appearance of the building is the result of the restoration carried out between 1949 and 1950.
