History
A ridge-top pilgrimage church whose interior is covered floor-to-ceiling in swirling 18th-century frescoes by Ivan Ranger — the same painter behind Belec. Legend says St Jerome (Croatia's most-claimed saint) was born on this very hill.
“St Jerome was long claimed by both Croats and Italians as a native son — the medieval Glagolitic priests even called their alphabet 'the Jeronimic script' to press the claim.”
