# Baška Old Town and Stone Vernacular Architecture

> Baška, on Krk's southeastern coast, has an old-town core of stone vernacular architecture characteristic of Adriatic fishing villages, with narrow streets, modest stone houses built directly to property lines, and a network of small piazzas. While less architecturally dramatic than cliff-top villages like Vrbnik, Baška preserves authentic working-village fabric and is contextually anchored by the famous nearby Romanesque church of St. Lucy at Jurandvor — site of the discovery of the Baška Tablet (Bašćanska ploča), one of the foundational documents of Croatian written language. The combination of working coastal village, beach, and exceptional historic monuments at Jurandvor makes Baška one of Krk's most multifaceted heritage destinations.
