St Nicholas parish curch
The church is located on the north-west side of the upper village, just above the staircase, making the church visible from miles away. Todays church of saint Nicolas was built in 1770 atop of ruins of Benedictine abbey. Altar of the holy mother of Carmel is located on the same place as abbey’s sanctum. The only traces of Benedictines which remained are stone fragments displayed on the church wall.
Among other relics the most important is a cross called Veliki Bouh, meaning big god. The story goes like this: A long, long time ago there was a big storm which lasted a couple of days. The next day when the storm settled, villagers found a cross on the shore. They took this cross into the church and after a while they wanted to take it out for procession. However they couldn’t do it - the cross was to big for all the windows and doors - it just didn’t want to leave.
