The islet of "San Marino", coloquially called also "Islet of Love", is about 100 meters far from the mainland. There is a cute little chapel of Holy Trinity and St. Martin. Actually, the islet has homonymous name, Sveti Martin, but the locals pronounced it as San Marino.
We used to collect fragrant flowers of Lavanda here. Leave a Comment

The parish church of Sts. Philip and Jacob was built in 14th century. The sanctuary of the church was annexed in 1520, and in the 17th century the church was redecorated in the Baroque style.
The main altar and stucco work on the vault were made by the Swiss masters, the brothers Clement and Giaccomo Somazzi. At the beginning of the 20th century a new front of the church was constructed, and where the chapel of St. Philip and James stood, a bell tower was erected.
A Renaissance sepulchral slab of the bishop Christopher from 1518 lies in front of the main altar and the altarpiece of Sts. Philip and James represent valuable works.
This is the place where I've learned to charish the God, I have atendend the church with my grandgrandmother, who died when I was 6 at the age of 94. Leave a Comment
