One of the oldest relics is the first church of the town, the Holy Cross parish, which operates as a gallery today. The church was mainly built with Gothic elements, however, a great part of these style marks have disappeared by now due to reconstructions. The Roman-Gothic font is unique in the diocese of Šibenik. The Saint John the Baptist church of Rakitnica was built on the Gradina hill in 1445. Its speciality is the bell tower.

Today only three masses are held here annually. The tower of Čorić in the heart of the town was built by the rich Fonda family from Šibenik in 1646. Today this is the only tower in the town, its fortress walls and towers have already been demolished. The castle that was built for defence purposes against the Turks was built-in 1509 and can be found on the Gradina hill above the town near the Saint John the Baptist church of Rakitnica. The castle was demolished during the Cretan War at the end of the 17th century since then you can only visit its ruins.
