# Dobrinj Hilltop Village and Square

> Dobrinj is a hilltop village in Krk's interior, with a medieval core arranged around a notable central square (Dobrinjska placa) and a fabric of stone vernacular houses, churches, and historic civic buildings. The village's strategic interior position — overlooking the surrounding plateau — and its role as a Frankopan administrative center give it a distinctive character: more inland-oriented than Krk's coastal villages, with stronger agricultural and administrative themes alongside the religious and defensive elements common to all Krk settlements. The central square, the parish church, and the surrounding old-town fabric together preserve one of the better examples of medieval Krk interior-village urbanism.
