Very beautiful, but it clearly needs restoration for its proper conservation. I have not seen it inside, you have to call in advance because of what the townspeople have told me

On the outside and comparing it with what there is in the surroundings it is very good, on the inside I can't speak, because it says that you can only visit on Wednesdays, as long as they answer you, because I wrote to them a couple of times and they didn't bother to reply ??‍♂️.

You can only visit on Wednesdays, curious to see if you go in passing, a little careless.

Surprise to find such a cool castle in such a small town. A pity that it is private and cannot be visited.

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.
