Veli Lošinj
Veli Lošinj was first mentioned in 1398 as Velo selo (meaning „the big village“). The oldest part of it, as we know was first set up in the 13th/14th century, built around a Romanesque church of St. Nicholas from the 14th century. The first settlement was dispersed, houses were built according to where the fields were arable and not in a manner of street lines. There is a tower dating back to the 15th century, which was put up in order to defend the port and the village, as well as to protect the people from pirate attacks.
During the 17th century, the settlement continues to develop in an amphitheater manner around the bay. It’s an urban baroque agglomeration with its square by the sea and two main streets, one, which leads to Velo selo, and the other towards Rovenska bay. Rovenska bay is a fisherman settlement, with houses built in a nucleated urban manner, many stone houses closely settled together.
Interesting thing is that former Veli Lošinj (meaning big Lošinj) was then actually bigger than Mali Lošinj (small Lošinj), but with time Mali Lošinj grew bigger due to its position and the development of ship building. Hence the opposite names we have today, the small one being actually bigger and vice versa.
