Veli Lošinj

This medieval town dates back to the late 14th century and the oldest part of the town was built between the 13th and 14th centuries around the Romanesque church of St. Nikola. In the 15th century, a tower was built as part of the defence of the port, which was often subject to pirate attacks. The tower can still be seen today, as can the town's beautiful church, St Antun Opat Pustinjak, which was built in the 15th century. However, the old church was demolished and a larger basilica was built at the end of the 18th century.

Veli Lošinj is a very charming and colourful small town with a nice atmosphere and still close to nature and the sea. There are many small specialty shops and just as many restaurants offering everything good from the sea, mixed with exquisite Mediterranean ingredients.
