Sv. Magdalena

U blizini crkvice Sv.Duha nalazi se gotička crkvica sa šiljastim svodovima u lađi, četvorinastog oblika, zvonikom na preslicu. Natpis na pročelju 1402. godine priča o njezinoj starosti. To je tip arhitekture crkvica jako čest na otoku.

Sv. Sidar

Stara romanička crkva iz 12.stoljeća, pri vrhu apside isklesani su motivi s likovima te stup s kapitelom iz 7-8.st., najstariji srednjevjekovni umjetnički spomenik u gradu. Smješten je na vanjskom stubištu nasuprot crkve. Svetac, u Cresu nazvan sveti Sidar, zaštitnik je grada te ga slave 2.1. U crkvici na oltaru sjedi njegov veliki lik, kasnogotička drvena skulptura iz 15.stoljeća. Pored ove ima još nekoliko drvenih skulptura ( Bogorodica sa djetetom, Sv.Sebastijana i Sv.Fabijana). Gotski portal te elegantan zvonik ,koji spada među najstarije u gradu, daju crkvici dražesan izgled. Po narodnoj predaji tu je bila prva župna crkva.

Crkvica Majka božja od Paprota

The capella is – about 5 minutes from Cres to Mali Losinj – along the road No. 100. There is a very nice view to Cres.

Cres

The town of Cres (see map) is so similar to Italian fishing ports that one may become uncertain whether he is still on the Croatian side of the border. Picturesque terraced houses, in beautiful pastel shades, swim in the afternoon sunlight around the port. Cres seems to be a sleepy little town languished by the sun, even in the peak season, though at this time of the year the port is abound with different kinds of boats. The Italian influence dates back to the 15th century, when Venetians living on the island moved their seat to Cres after Osor had fallen prey to the Black Death. Along the port public buildings and patrician halls were built, and in the 16th century a city wall was erected by the Venetian authorities.As we walk along the streets, we can find many traits of the one-time Italian rule, for example the blazons of prestigious Venetian families.
