St. Lucy Church & Baška Tablet
Crkva sv. Lucije, Jurandvor
The find-spot of the Baška Tablet. A small 11th-century Romanesque church displays a replica of it and serves as the "birth certificate" of Croatian language and culture.
The Baška Tablet, carved around 1100, is one of the most important surviving texts written in Croatian in Glagolitic script. It records King Zvonimir's donation of land to a Benedictine monastery. The original is held by the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb, while the church displays a replica with multilingual explanations. The church is in Jurandvor village, about 2 km north of Baška, and admission is about €5. Along the road there is also the "Glagolitic Trail," with stone carvings of Glagolitic letters.
