# Heritage Chapels of Krk

> Beyond the small medieval churches treated in entry 291, Krk preserves additional categories of small religious architecture — votive chapels in agricultural fields, wayside shrines and crucifixes along roads and paths, pilgrimage-stations along devotional routes, and family or estate chapels at significant locations. These structures, smaller and more dispersed than the parish churches, constitute one of the most pervasive heritage layers on the island. While individually modest, the cumulative network of chapels across Krk represents a substantial religious-cultural heritage rooted in centuries of devotional practice.
