on the regional road.
Murter was first mentioned in the 15th century. The remains of Roman
structures, probably the remains of the ancient settlement of Collentum,
have been found at the foot of an elevation called Gradina, in the
cove of Hramina and elsewhere. - On the cape of Gradina is the local
cemetery, where early Croatian graves have been found. At the cemetery
is the church of Our Lady in Gradina from the 17th century. The parish
church of St. Michael features a Baroque altar, a work by masters
Pio and Vicko dall'Acqua and an icon by the Cretan-Venetian school.
The parsonage keeps a Gothic-Renaissance processional crucifix and
several valuable paintings. - Above the village, on the Vrsina hill,
is the church of St. Roch (Rocco) from 1760
Situated at the "gate" of the Kornati archipelago (the inhabitants
of Murter are owners of a greater part of the lands), Murter is one
of the favourite destinations of boaters and those who prefer peaceful
vacations. The beginnings of tourism in Murter date back to the 1930s,
when the so-called Czech Villa was built in the cove of Slanica, today
the rest home of the Trade Union Federation.
