A pity that it is private and abandoned. In the middle of the primitive path, do not miss it.

It is dull as it is preserved, but the stones speak of its long and important history. One of the most important battles of the High Middle Ages took place in those places. Without a doubt a place for lovers of history in times of the monarch Silo.

Little place to park, the access is between farms and the area is unmarked and unguarded. A shame, because it has a lot of potential, the remains that are completely covered with weeds, they seem interesting. The tower has no access. I think I remember that they do not advise approaching. The views from there, of the town, are spectacular.

It is not signposted. There is little place to park. You cannot visit the inside. It is a tower located in the middle of a field surrounded by houses. The tower from the outside looks well preserved.

Too bad not to invest in archaeological work because the result could be spectacular.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
