# Civic Buildings and Communal Architecture

> Krk's villages traditionally maintained civic buildings — town halls, loggias, communal granaries, public wells, and other shared infrastructure — that served the public administrative and economic life of medieval and early-modern communities. While generally less architecturally elaborate than the major churches and castles, civic buildings represent the third significant heritage layer (alongside religious and feudal architecture) that gave villages their communal identity. Surviving examples are scattered across Krk's main villages, sometimes preserved as museums or municipal offices, sometimes converted to other uses, and together they document the civic-administrative dimension of historic island life.
