Silba/island of Silba What to see on Silba

THE TORETA is the most well known symbol of Silba. It is a hexagonal tower with outer spiral stairs and is situated near the local post office. It is about 15 meters high and is used as a viewpoint. In the 19th century, the Toreta was erected by captain Petar Marinić, and legend says that it was in memory of an unforgotten love. The exceptional view from the top extends over the neighboring islands and local waters.

KAPELICE: There are seven white chapels placed at equal intervals from the parish Church of Saint Mary's to the Church of Saint Mark's. Each one has two stopping places for the way of the cross of the church procession before the Easter holidays.

VARH is 80 meters high and the highest point on the island. It is located in the north of the island, and is easiest to reach from the south side, from the direction of the nearby Papranica Cove.
