    The church on the top of the Kalvarija Hill (234 m) was built by Antonio Sforzina in 1755 as a dedicatory chapel of his family, and was inaugurated by the well-known Osor Bishop Nikola Dinarić, later Archbishop of Split. On the way that led from Veli Lošinj up to the church, the Way of the Cross (via crucis) with three simple chapels and wooden crosses was set up as stations at that time. Near the church, the remains of a simple stone hut have been preserved - a hermitage, in which lived the priest Petar Kokorin from the Zagreb diocese from 1807 to 1834. His second pilgrimage to the Holy Land inspired him for this way of life.
