84 phasised by an interesting portal (65), nice interior (66) and valuable works of art (67), and from the same period, the Franciscan monastery (68). Many small villages on the island of Cres are, because of their picturesque location on the mountain peaks high above sea level, and preserved architecture, protected as particularly valuable rural units. There is Predošćica (64) and Orlec, known for beautiful folk costumes (72), Beli, known as the griffon vulture protection eco-centre (69) and probably the most attractive is Lubenice, located on a gorge above gentle sandy bays, with matchless views towards the open sea (70). On the island of KRK there are also equally interesting large villages, like the old town of Krk with its preserved town centre (73), and also smaller ones, like the picturesque Vrbnik (80) above the sea, as told by an old folk song. In Krk Town, the episcopal centre has a cathedral (82), whose beginnings date back to the 6th century, and which features a rich sacral collection (75). Near the town of Krk stands the Franciscan monastery Košljun, on a small island (74) with a nice church (76) and a museum with a collection of valuable works of art (81 & 83) and archives with many old manuscripts (79). The famous Baška tablet was also found on the island of Krk (77), and is considered the most important monument of Croatian diplomatic history, written in the Glagolitic script at the end of the 11th century. It was found in Jurandvor in Baška in the South of the island, known for its beautiful beaches and preserved folk heritage (78). In Jurandvor is the copy, while the original Baška tablet, because of its exceptional value and sensitivity, is kept as a separate exhibit in the atrium of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb. The island of RAB, in the extreme South of the Kvarner Bay, is widely known for the preserved historic centre of the town of Rab (84), in which the four towers of its churches (87 & 93) - three Romanesque towers from the 12th century and a Baroque one from the 17th century, are a favourite motif for many paintings (88). Like Krk, Rab was a diocesan centre and its medieval cathedral has an interior (86) decorated with paintings (92) and other valuable works of art (89, 90 & 91). Rab had a particular role at the time the state of San Marino was being established on the neighbouring Apennines. According to legend, San Marino was founded in the 4th century by a stone mason from the island of Rab, called Marin, after who the state was named. 34
