Church on San Marino Island, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia

4.5 (33 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Novi Vinodolski Churches & Cathedrals

Great, have a swim to the island, visit the island, swim around it...

Only 205 m from Novi lies a small island of san Marino. In the past it was used as the fishing spot for tuna, but today there is only a Gothic church here, dedicated to St. marin, after which the island got its name. This church was most probably built on the foundations of a bigger old Croatian church, the remains of which were found during archeological excavations. A stone fragment from the 3rd or 4th c., discivered on the island, bears an inscriptions mentioning Roman empress Helena.

    Cute and Desolate
    I actually swam out to the island and walked around the old abandoned little church. There really isn't much there except the walls but it is a curiosity. At least now I can say I swam to church for the first time in my life.
