The Church of the Holy Cross

About

The Church of the Holy Cross is located along the road leading to Svetvincenat, just before the roundabout where Trgovačka Street begins. The church features an inscribed date of 1468, but it is not clear whether it was the year of construction or the consecration of the church. This was also a residence for the bishops of Pula upon their arrival in Vodnjan. As soon as they got off the horse, the bishops would be included in a procession that would ceremonially usher them into the city.
