Island Krk

Krk is a large Croatian island in the northern Adriatic Sea, connected to the mainland by a bridge. The 5th-century Krk Cathedral, in the town of Krk, has a marble altar and stone Corinthian columns engraved with Christian symbols. Overlooking the sea is Frankopan Castle, with centuries-old stone passages and a bell tower. In a small bay to the east, tiny Košljun Island is home to a Franciscan monastery.
