    Hiking

    For us, this was perhaps the most moving place on this visit to Brijuni. An early Christian basilica dating back to the 4th or 5th century AD, its columns still retain ancient Christian iconography from the early centuries.

    Cycling

    Perhaps the most evocative site of the entire visit to Brijuni Island.
    Ruins of an early Christian basilica dating back to the 4th or 5th century AD. Around the year 1000, it became the home of the Knights Templar, who guarded it until the order was dissolved, with the construction of a monastery adjacent to the church.
    A large burial area was discovered near the church, giving an idea of how densely populated the nearby castrum was.
