Located on the island's western shore lies Cres town, a quaint settlement with historical significance. Serving as the administrative hub under Venetian rule since 1459, it owns architectural gems that whisper tales of bygone eras. Within the harbor stands the town gate and a majestic clock tower, both dating back to the 16th century. 

      Exploring outside the town uncovers secret places full of history and culture. The Gothic church of St. Mary Magdalene, built in 1402, quietly reflects the island's lasting devotion. Close by, a Franciscan monastery and a church from the 14th century stand with peaceful beauty, welcoming quiet thoughts. Further along the path lies a monastery of Benedictine nuns, its origins tracing back to the 15th century, radiating a sense of calm and quiet reflection.
