- Krk City Walls - The town walls of Krk date back to the 1st century BC, with remnants visible today in the foundations of the Volsonis cafe. Over the centuries, additional walls and towers were constructed, with the last addition in the 15th century. They remain well-preserved.
- Kula na obali - This six-sided corner tower is part of the medieval western and southern walls. Built by Prince Nikola Frankopan in 1407, it features an inscription and family coat of arms carved on a Roman stele from that era, depicting the spouses.
- Historical Laundry - The name Krušija is derived from the Italian word “corso,” meaning flow. This site features a well that provided drinking water and served as a laundry area where Krk’s women washed their goods. Historically, Krušija was also a gathering place.
- Church of St. Quirinus - Dedicated to the patron of Krk, this church is a stunning example of Romanesque sacral architecture. It is part of the cathedral complex. The first record of St. Quirin dates to 1335, when the people of Krk allocated the rent from Plavnik island “for the repair of the church of St. Quirin in Krk.” It is believed to have been built in the 12th century. The church’s uniqueness lies in its two-story structure and unusual geographical orientation, with its apse facing south, likely due to the limited space. The lower church is named after St. Margarita, a martyr from Antioch, while the upper church is dedicated to St. Quirinus, Krk’s patron.
- Katedrala Uznesenja BDM Krk - The Krk Cathedral, dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is situated on a larger area at the base of the hill where Krk is located. The earliest dated mention of this cathedral is in Bishop Ivan’s Donation from 1186, and it may have existed in the early Christian era.
- Kamplin Square - Kamplin, derived from the classical Latin “campulus” or popular Latin “campellus,” meaning “field,” has served various purposes throughout its history as a unique area in the town.
