A more than special place. Magical, incredible and people with an unforgettable welcome. Thanks also to Mr. Gabriele.

Very beautiful country

Nice story, after half an hour looking for the road that is marked only on the provincial road at the bottom of the valley and is no longer signposted in the village, we arrive here to find that it is closed without any indication with a really nice private property sign

Castle in a beautiful panoramic position but closed, but I liked the very characteristic Castel Madruzzo village with particular corners and decorated with flowers.

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.
