Cres/island of Cres
The town of Cres is situated in the north-eastern part of a large and well shielded bay which abounds in spacious and attractive bathing areas. Human activity, dating back to the ancient period, has left a whole range of monuments which help us to imagine how difficult life must have been on this island.
The panorama of present day Cres is marked by the medieval harbour, known as mandrac, Gothic and Renaissance churches and monasteries, noble families' houses and the remains of the town walls. Until the end of the period of Venetian domination, Cres remained confined within its town walls, with the two monasteries being the only buildings located outside the walls. It was the development of seafaring and shipbuilding in the middle of the 19th century that brought about great changes.
