# Small Medieval Churches of Krk

> Beyond the major parish churches and the cathedral, Krk preserves dozens of small medieval churches — single-cell rural chapels, modest village churches, votive chapels at significant sites, and pilgrimage stations along historic routes. These small buildings, ranging from approximately 5×3 meters to perhaps 10×6 meters in plan, often preserve more architecturally pure medieval fabric than larger buildings (because their small scale and modest use discouraged extensive later modification). Together they constitute one of the most distributed and atmospheric heritage layers on the island, with churches encountered at unexpected locations across the agricultural landscape, on mountain trails, at coastal points, and at village edges.
