The original settlement was founded in the 10th century, while in the Middle Ages this area was the property of St. Chrysogonus and Plato monastery from Zadar. A former church of St. Bartul (12th – 13th century) situated on the coast, featuring Romanesque characteristics and a massive belfry above the façade, is well preserved. It was later rebuilt into a residence building, while the remnants of murals are still visible on the walls.

The parish church of Our Lady of the Rosary (“Gospa od ruzarija”) with a low tower from the 18th century is also surrounded by new family dwellings owned by local people.
