The Church of Saint George

The church was built at the end of or the beginning of the 18th century, after the Ottomans lost the village. It was too small to accommodate all the denizens, so the Makarska bishop Fabijan Blašković in 1779 ordered a chapel of the same size to be built. This didn't happen, and the church started deteriorating and became dangerous for entrants. In 1837, service was banned until it was fixed. It was repaired in 1845 and expanded to 16.5x8 metres. The belfry was built after World War I. A renovation happened in 1990 when Dušan Brečić was pastor. Afterwards, archbishop Ante Jurić, consecrated the church on the holiday of Saint Liborius, on 23 July 1991.[3]

The Chapel of Saint Nicholas

The 6.7x5.3 metre chapel was built after the foundation of the parish in 1921, next to the parish house, in the part of the village called Kod Kuća. Since the populace from nearby hamlets left, mass is held only during the holiday of Saint Nicholas and by need.[3]

The earliest mention of this 9.15x4 metre chapel is in 1761 when a baptism was recorded. The pastor settled on the mountain Rujnica that year. The village in which the chapel has been was abandoned by 1910. Today, mass is held there only on the holiday of Saint Roch, the third day of Easter, and the third day of Pentecost. The descendants of the former populace then congregate. The chapel's roof was renovated which saved it from further deterioration.[3]

There are two small chapels, both dedicated to the Virgin Mary, near the village. The first is in the hamlet Medaca, and the second is in the hamlet Bebići.[3]
