Church and Fortress of Krk

Krk is a Croatian island in the northern Adriatic Sea.

The capital town, which also called Krk, was described in an inscription on a fourth-century tombstone as "splendidissima Civitas Curictarum". Krk was under the reign of Venice, France, Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy, Germany, Yugoslavia and Croatia.

Various literature in Glagolitic alphabet was created and in part preserved on Krk (notably the Baška tablet, the oldest preserved text in Croatian).

The city was once known for its unique Romance language called Vegliotic, which was spoken till the early 19th century.

On my first two days of summer holidays, I was researching old town; the romances cathedral - XII century and Frankopan Castle.
