Beautiful, not really old bridge over a picturesque little gorge where you can wade in the mountain stream, swim or simply climb over the stones. Nice for children too. It's best to take something to read and or a small picnic with you and spend some time there. Just please don't leave any dirt lying around - unfortunately there is some rubbish in the idyll.

There used to be a wooden bridge in this place, which (according to the inhabitants, collapsed under the weight of a bullock cart) The stone bridge was built in 1956.

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.
