Seven centuries of town life on Vela Placa
Vela Placa was probably the main square already in Roman times and is first mentioned in documents in 1263. In the Middle Ages it was the administrative heart of Krk, with the city hall and two loggias. The Square Tower, built at the end of the 15th century and used as the city hall in the 16th century, still faces the square with its 24-hour clock, first mentioned in 1538 and returned to its place in 1995.
