About

Above the old part of Novi Vinodolski, on a plateau of a stone rock which steeply descends towards the sea, rises the 36 m high bell tower and a cathedral of SS Philip and Jacob. On the site of bell tower a votive church of SS Fabian and Sebastian was built in 1511. The legend says that it was built in only 24 hours as a vow to God to protect them from plague. Woodcarved choir satlls from the second half of the 17th c. preserved in the cathedral count among the most valuable woodcarved works.
