Awesome view around the half island. This is a cemetery Chapel though.

Lovely place up on top of the hill away from the hoards of tourists. There are benches under the shade of big trees just outside, and the cemetery has nice views out over the adriaric sea.

Beautiful stone St. George's Church and cemetery behind the walls of Primosten. Beautiful vantage point.

Stunning church in one of the most beautiful islet towns in Dalmacija. The walk up the pedestrianised stone pathway to the church is wonderful, and the views from the top breathtaking. The sparkling white stone of the church itself is complimented by the terracotta tiled roof. And the cemetery is filled with luxurious family vaults adorned with brightly colored flowers overlooking the azure blue Adriatic. A place of genuine beauty and serenity, and must for any itinerary of central Dalmacija.

Very nicely arranged surroundings of the church. A neatly path from the market (by the way there is a non-payable toilet). The interior is not so rich, but it is a beautiful church. Beautiful view of the surrounding area (the sea, the city ...), although the viewpoint is a cemetery (it is not good if we atep on a grave to take a good picture of Surrounding nature...). Otherwise it's worth a visit.

Ehrenbreitstein Fortress

Ehrenbreitstein Fortress was built as the backbone of the regional fortification system, Festung Koblenz, by Prussia between 1817 and 1832 and guarded the middle Rhine region, an area that had been invaded by French troops repeatedly before. The fortress was never attacked.

Early fortifications at the site can be dated back to about 1000 BC. At about AD 1000 Ehrenbert erected a castle. The Archbishops of Trier expanded it with a supporting castle Burg Helferstein and guarded the Holy Tunic in it from 1657 to 1794. Successive Archbishops used the castle's strategic importance to barter between contending powers; thus in 1672 at the outset of war between France and Germany the Archbishop refused requests both from the envoys of Louis XIV and from Brandenburg's Ambassador, Christoph Caspar von Blumenthal, to permit the passage of troops across the Rhine.
