In the 5th century the city of Krk became the bishopric centre for the whole island.Todays cathedral of the Assumption is a preserved witness of that time. At the end of the 12th century the famous Frankopan family emerged and ruled over the area, leaving the Krk town castle, Kosljun monastery and ruins of the castel Gradec to our heritage. After the fall of the Croatian aristocracy in the 15th century, different emperors were ruling over Krk- Venetians, French, Austro-Hungarians, Italians, Germans.
