Here is the church of St. John the Baptist, which dates from the 15th century. The church and the cemetery have long been in a dilapidated state. Three times a year, Holy Mass is celebrated on the Feast of St. John the Baptist and the first of May.

Old parish church ‘Sveti Križ’ in the cemetery

This church is located in a former local cemetery. It was consecrated in 1421 when it was also a parish church. It is built in the Gothic style and is a wonderful example of rural sacral architecture.

The church was renovated in 1987. There are masses several times a year and it is open to visitors through the summer season.

Srima -Prižba

The archaeological site preserves two single nave basilicas built at different times. This is why we call them basilicae geminatae or twin or double churches. The north church is older and the south has joined it a little later. This beautiful specimen is located on the site of Srima – Pridžba.

Wells

The main source of drinking water was two wells that now adorn the center of Vodice. The upper well is of white stone and the lower of glass walls. The water system of two wells interconnected is unique in the Adriatic. In the summer when the surrounding places had no water, everyone came to Vodice for wells. Head over to the well, ask for something and insert a coin. Maybe the wish comes true.

Coric’s turanj

A unique example of a defense tower. Built in the 16th century. Since the 17th century, it has belonged to the Fondra noble family from Sibenik, who renovated the building for housing.
