The Baroque church of St. Martin was built on the foundations of a mediaeval
church; the gable acroterion (from the 15th c.) is probably from the original
church. Next to the church is the chapel of St. Nicholas from 1630. The church
of St. Juliana with the bell tower "na preslicu" was built in the transition
period between the Renaissance and the Baroque. - The remains of Roman graves
have been found.
The village of Zuljana, located in a deep bay, features rural architecture and
one of the most beautiful and biggest pebble beaches on the Adriatic. The cove
of Vucine, as well as several smaller
coves, offer camping and sports fishing opportunities. Clean sea, a variety of
home-made foods and especially quality wines, as well as water sports (sailing,
windsurfing) make Zuljana a favourite tourist destination.
