Osor is a picturesque village on the southwestern part of the island of Cres. It is known as a museum city and represents an island from his best side. It was built next to a canal with a movable bridge, which is also the only road connection between the islands of Losinj and Cres.
The largest attractions of the settlement are the ancient town square with the town hall, the loggia, the bishop's palace, the Osor cathedral, which is today the parish church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, the bell tower of the cathedral, the Benedictine abbey, the church of St. Peter from the 11th century, the Gothic chapel of St. Gaudentius from the 14th century and others. Osor Cathedral was built between 1463 and 1498. It represents one of the most beautiful preserved Renaissance monuments in Croatia. The three-nave construction of the building is attributed to the famous builder and sculptor Jurij Dalmatinec. The baroque main altar protected the relics of St. Gaudentius, who is the patron and bishop of Osor. In the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, there is a painting by Palma the Younger, an altarpiece by Andrea Vicentino of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary with donors and patron saints, and other rich inventory. Since 1989, the church is also richer for the important works of Croatian painters, which the artists donated to the church. During the summer, it hosts the famous Osor music evenings.
The bell tower of the cathedral is located east of the Church of the Assumption of Mary. It was built in 1575 and is the work of master Jakob Galeta from the island of Krk. The bell tower was renovated in the 18th century, and in 1901 it was raised to the height that is still preserved today.
