Till the present day signs of stormy and rich past of first-class cultural and monumental value were preserved. They are a result of many past centuries remembered by tenacious resistance to foreign conquerors and hard-working citizens.
These are mentioned as the most valuable remnants: defensive walls that surrounded Pirovac from all four sides, built at the beginning of the 16th century (1505) whose remains are still visible at the northern side; town gates, which are still known for its strength and beauty, with a bascule bridge that was raised during the night and which was, due to its ruinous state, demolished at the end of the nineteenth century (1884), as well as the walls.
Also, there is a parish church of Gospa Karmelska built in the late 1506, renovated and reconstructed in 1832; a chapel at the old Pirovac graveyard from the 15th century that was built, as well as the walls and Sv. Juraj church, by the most influential family of Pirovac, Draganic-Vrancic. In the chapel there is a sarcophagus with a relief (1447) made by Andrija Budicic from Sibenik and Lorenzo Pincin from Venice, a master from an eminent group of architects of the great Sibenik cathedral. |
