During hours with the most intense sunshine, except under the cool shade of the pine trees, choose the cool and delightful Heritage Museum of Biograd located on the seaside walkway also known as “the Riva”. Think of it as engaging on a treasure hunt! The heritage museum, along with all the other exhibits, have concealed the true attraction and magnet with visitors in search of the unique exhibit on the Jadran known as “Cargo from a sunken ship from the 16th Century" with over 10.000 exceptionally fascinating objects.

The church of St. Anthony was built in the mid-19th century. It is interesting, because when it was commissioned to be built, it was located exactly on the shore, at the edge of a huge bay called Jaz. A few years later at the beginning of the 20th century, Jaz was drained, and the new city was built, leaving St. Anthony surrounded by homes and other buildings. This one-nave church is covered with a wooden roof while the half-moon shaped apse is domelike, covered with stone slabs. At the central entrance, the fascae is dominated by a belfry in the shape of a horsetail (? Preslice).

The remains of St. John the Baptist Basilica clearly shows the temperament of Biograd’s stormy past. This Benedictine seminary was built in the 11th century by Croatian king Petar Krešimir IV. However, the seminary “survived” only one century because the Venetians, upon succeeding in their conquest of Biograd, destroyed it, razing it practically to its foundation. The Benedictines, luckily, managed to escape, and under the leadership of their abbot, settled in Šibenik. Four years later, they permanently relocated to the island of Pašman, where on Cokovać hill, they moved into the church of Saints Kuzma and Damian.
