Beautiful little church around 900 years old. It is located near the main road from Vir to Nin. By the road and near the church there is big parking lot, so parking is not the problem. Near the parking lot there is tablet with some information about the church. By the tablet there is path few hundred metres long that leads to the church. The church is located on the hill that seems to be ancient burial ground. The walls of the church are made of stone blocks and are pretty high. On top of the church there is turret that was built additionally in 16th century to fortify the church. This church is important part of Croatian history because first Croatian kings were crowned in it. Unfortunately in time of my visit the doors were locked so there was no opportunity to visit church from the inside.

The church is built on a small mound of land, supposedly in which, there are prehistoric tombs. The church is only 6 meters high and 5.70 meters wide. The walls of the church are thick, they are about 50 centimeters, so that they can protect against fire from the Turks. According to legend, freshly crowned kings from Ninu came to St. Nicholas' Church to show off their subjects and raise a royal sword towards the four sides of the world.

Others are praising, so I'll give some informations. Car & bus parking free, nearby. Persons in wheelchair can't climb, only small ride to the foot of the small hill. Also, the door is locked, no entry. But, if you want to see the inside, go to the nearby town of Nin, and look first for the convinient parking near or inside the old city, than find the "world's smallest cathedrall" aka Church of the Holy Cross which is open. Both are quite similar and so small inside.. Sadly, this one is also unavailable for the persons in wheelchairs.
