Omisalj

Omišalj, a coastal municipality perched on a cliff overlooking the Kvarner Bay on Krk Island, offers stunning views of the Adriatic Sea. With a population of 1,887 (as of 2021), Omišalj dates back to Roman times when it was known as Fulfinum. The municipality also includes the nearby village of Njivice, bringing the total population to 2,992. Omišalj has a rich cultural heritage and is an important Glagolitic center.

History buffs can explore the Fulfinum Ruins, featuring the remains of a three-nave basilica, the largest in the Mediterranean, dating back to the 5th to 6th century. Visit the historic Our Lady of the Assumption Church in Omišalj, or head to the northern tip of Krk Island to see the picturesque Voscica Lighthouse. Not far from Omišalj lies the beautiful Biserujka Cave with stalactites and stalagmites.

For your shopping needs, the Shopping Center Omišalj, conveniently located near the bridge connecting Krk Island with the mainland since 2014, houses stores like Konzum and BIPA.
