Church of All Saints: Architectural History and Parish Affiliation

The Church of All Saints is the parish church of Piramatovci Parish and is considered a 13th-century building. A fragment of an early Croatian monument was incorporated into its façade. The church stands on a hill thought to have possibly had a sacred character in antiquity. The construction date, façade fragment, and interpretation of the hill represent different historical points of reference; the sacred significance of the site is explicitly presented as a possibility.

Archaeological Connections

Krković is located in the archaeological area of Bribir. The Bosančica inscriptions from Krković have been identified as tombstone monuments belonging to Piramatovci Parish. The archaeological area of Bribir describes Krković’s geographical setting, while Piramatovci Parish identifies the church affiliation of the Church of All Saints and the inscriptions. Vrbica is a single archaeological site on the road between Krković and B. Mostina. It is described as a larger, excavated necropolis farther along the road from the Church of All Saints toward Žažvić. A small old cemetery lies several hundred metres from the church, on the road toward Žažvić. The Pećane archaeological site contains a Palaeolithic cemetery. The descriptions of Vrbica highlight different points of reference: in one, it is on the road between Krković and B. Mostina; in the other, it lies farther from the church toward Žažvić.

Cycling: Two Distinct Route Profiles

The “Track of History” recreational cycling route includes Krković. It is 35.8 km long, follows a gravel track, and connects Skradin with Bribir, Bribirska Glavica, and other settlements in the Skradin area. Its length and surface give you a clear idea of the tour’s distance and terrain. Check the surface and local conditions before setting off. According to the route information (as of 2026), Guduća is designated exclusively for mountain biking; the route includes a technical descent that is not recommended for inexperienced riders. Check current conditions before riding. The two routes differ in the factors they highlight: for “Track of History,” the stated details are its length and gravel surface, while for Guduća, they are mountain-bike use and the warning about the descent.
