Novi Vinodolski: Marina Novi - Church of the Holy Cross
The landscape around Novi Vinodolski is a rocky Adriatic coastline rising into low, scrub-covered hills, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. Marina Novi occupies the town’s sheltered harbour, where small craft, excursion vessels and working boats share the waterfront. The Church of the Holy Cross is part of this compact seafront setting, while houses with tiled roofs climb the slope behind it. Novi Vinodolski belongs to the Vinodol coastal area of Kvarner, opposite the island of Krk. Its place in Croatian history is marked by the Vinodol Code of 1288, one of the oldest legal texts written in Croatian. Harbour life and the old town remain closely interwoven here, with the Adriatic defining the town’s daily rhythm.

Few towns on Croatia's Kvarner coast have a history as closely tied to the Vinodol Statute as Novi Vinodolski. Drafted here in 1288, this medieval legal code is among the oldest written legal texts in the Croatian language and remains central to the town's identity. Novi Vinodolski occupies the Adriatic shore below the wooded slopes of the Vinodol Valley, with the island of Krk across the Kvarner waters. The old town is marked by Frankopan Castle and the Cathedral of St Philip and St James, while summer brings the traditional Rose of Vinodol festival.

Croatia occupies a long Adriatic coastline in southeastern Europe. Its shore is broken into islands and sheltered coves, while the Dinaric Alps rise inland and the Danube forms part of its eastern border. Dubrovnik’s fortified old city faces the sea, and Split grew around Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman complex begun in the early fourth century. Inland, Plitvice Lakes National Park is known for terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Istrian olive groves, Zagreb and Slavonia’s vineyards reveal distinct regional identities.
