Losinj is a small seaside situated in the south of the island
of Lošinj in the bay of Kvarner. At the entrance to the harbour
stands the baroque church of St. Anthony the Hermit from the 17th
century, wich was built on the remains of a smaller church grom
the 15th century. The harbour is also dominated by the Tower, dating
grom the 15th century. It was built to shelter the townfrom pirate
raids. The beatiful old stone houses, surrounded by parks and exotic
vegetation, speak of the town's rich seafaring tradition. |
