Very important place in croatian history. Baščanska ploča was found here, there is a replica inside the church. Unfortunately we arrived a bit late and couldn't enter but it was amazing to visit a place so important!

The entrance fee is 5 euros per person and you also get a guide, but the Baška slab can be seen through a small window on the door of the church, 5 minutes is enough to look at the slab and the surrounding walls

The Abbey and Church of St. Lucy in Jurandvor are among the most important Croatian historical and cultural sites. The famous Baška stone tablet was found here. A replica can be seen today inside the church in it's original place. The reconstructed building of the monastery is now used as an exhibition and educational area.
The ticket office is few dozen meters away, it offers souvenirs and snacks and the attendant will give you a short tour of the site. This is an excellent example on how to handle cultural heritage. Surely worth visiting once you're on Krk!
P.S. This is one of the checkpoints of The Krk Camino Trail.

A Serendipitous Experience at St. Lucia’s Church in Baška, Croatia
Our visit to St. Lucia's Church in Baška, Croatia, turned into an unexpectedly enriching experience, thanks to the graciousness of a young guide and the immersive video presentation inside the church.
Initially, we intended to simply admire the church's architecture and historical significance. However, upon entering, we found ourselves amidst a captivating video presentation that drew us in. Rather than interrupting, we decided to stay until the end, joining a group of fellow tourists.
To our surprise and delight, a young man, no older than a teenager, approached us once the video concluded. Recognizing that we were English speakers, he took the initiative to replay the video in English, ensuring we didn't miss out on any details.
What truly impressed us was his passion for preserving history and his willingness to share it with visitors. His dedication was evident as he guided us through the church, providing insights that enriched our understanding and appreciation of the site.
As if this weren't charming enough, we later learned that his mother runs the nearby store—a delightful connection that added a personal touch to our visit.
In summary, St. Lucia’s Church offers more than just historical and architectural wonders; it provides an opportunity to connect with the past through the efforts of passionate individuals like our young guide. This experience left us with lasting memories and a renewed appreciation for the importance of preserving history for future generations. ????⛪️??
