The remains of the Church of St. Cyprian

 
Archaeological finds
 

They were found in the proximity of the bay of Gožinka. It is believed that its construction dates back to the 5th c. It is the oldest church on the Kalifront Peninsula we know so far. Close to the remains of the church, the remains of the Roman villa have also been found, indicating that it used to be a private church, possibly a votive chapel of some distinguished landowner. The church also suggests the Byzantine cultural influences of Charles the Great were present on the island of Rab, since the church was separated during the Middle Ages by two small apses. The church remains were buried again following the performed research in order to remain preserved.
