Baska - St Mark Chapel

Baska is the municipality and settlement of the same name, which is located on the southwestern part of the island of Krk. The town with its narrow streets and old stone houses is distinguished by its varied cultural and historical heritage.

Baska has been a popular tourist destination since the 19th century. Baska is known for its thirty pebbly beaches, which are easily accessible to bathers on foot or by boat. One of the most beautiful and largest is Baska's Vela beach, which stretches in the very center of the city. The beach is surrounded by many restaurants, bars, bars, pizzerias, hotels and private accommodations. Romanesque chapel of St. Marka is located in Pirnica, not far from the Atrium Residence Baska hotel and the beautiful Vela beach. It was built in 1514. Under the chapel are the remains of an ancient mosaic and a basilica from the 5th century AD. An ancient Christian baptistery was also found here. The size of the basilica was determined on the basis of archaeological research. It speaks of the fact that the area of the Baska valley was inhabited by a large number of inhabitants in that period.

In addition to the chapel of St. Mark, the most important sights are the parish church of St. Trinity, Church of St. John the Baptist, the church of the Mother of God Goricka, the Baska plaque, the Baska Museum and more. The Baska plaque is a national monument of the culture of the Croatian nation.
