The farm can only be visited by appointment. There is a path around the castle, very imposing. And the goats like it there too: D

It's a shame that we can't visit ?

Unfortunately, this time I cannot rate correctly A large number of white signs hang on the (wide open) main gate. Suggestion: a simple "entry prohibited for unauthorized persons" would be more understandable for everyone than a sign with a penalty of over 500 EUR for non-compliance with corona measures and a "only access for guided tours". Unfortunately, there is no information about when these will take place. So it is not necessarily immediately understandable that not even the site is allowed to be entered.

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.
