Beautiful church.

The construction of the church began in 1804 (laying of the foundation stone) and continued in the years 1805-1813. Construction work was only resumed between 1927 and 1935 and the church was ceremoniously inaugurated on March 19, 1935.

The central nave and side aisles of the church are separated from each other by four columns on which the names of the donors are noted.

In the chancel there are two arches with religious paintings. The paintings were made in 1946 by Antonio Macchi (painter from Rovinj).

The life of St. Foška (martyrdom) and St. Martin (parting of the cloak) is depicted on the first arch, and in the middle there is an image of Christ with outstretched arms. At the edge of the arch a Latin remainder: SANCTI NOSTRI MARTINE ET FUSCA INTERCEDITE PRO NOBIS (our holy protectors Martin and Foška, pray for us.)

The second arch is decorated with flowers and trees as well as angels and lambs. The symbol of Christ (Agnus Dei - Lamb of God) is depicted in the middle. The inscription on the edge of the arch reads: ACE AGNUS DEI: ECCE QUI TOLLIT PECCATA MUNDI (This is the Lamb of God who takes upon himself the sins of the world).

Otherwise the church is sparsely furnished. The marble baptismal font comes from the old church of St. Martin (14th century). It stood at the "Old Square", which today bears the name "Trg Degrassi".

After World War II, this destroyed church and its bell tower were demolished.

The new bell tower is 40 m high and was only built in 1989-1991.

Climbing the church tower costs €3. As of July 2022. The stairs are very easy to walk on. From the top you have a great all-round view.
