On the church tower, until it was confiscated for war purposes in the First and Second World War, there were two bells (one from the 17th and one from the 18th century), both from the bell foundries of Venice. Instead of the bell that had been removed, a new bell was hung, cast in the Lapagna bell foundry in Trieste in 1922. This bell was also made in Latin along with an old, richly decorated bell (images of St. Foška, Madona, crucifix) from the 17th century Inscription: St. Foška from the town of Vrsar 1680, removed by the Italians in World War II, but the bells were not used for war purposes, are now in the tower of the Church of St. Martin. In the restored church there is now a rich collection of sacred objects, including images of the torture of St. Foška from the 17th century. Some tombstones with Latin inscriptions attract the attention of visitors. In front of the main altar is the grave of the priest Luka Prodanić from Vrsar (Luca Prodanich) who died in 1659. Symbols of the priesthood (chalice and host) are carved on the grebstone.
