Vodice
Vodice means "springs of water," The town was founded around several ancient wells. Water from these springs was exported from Vodice until the late 19th century. Two ancient wells, which have been meticulously preserved, now stand in the town square as monuments to the town's long-standing customs.
Explore the city's historic core on foot, where you can find two ancient churches and several archaeological sites. As early as 1402, construction began on a modest church dedicated to St. Cross. In 1421, when it also served as a parish church, it was dedicated to St. Cross and surrounded by a cemetery. This Gothic-style church is a prime example of the traditional rural sacral architecture of the Croatian coast.
