Plomin

In Plomin there are two St. George churches.

The best way to experience its location is to continue from the Church of the Holy Cross by dirt road towards St. Magdalene's Church.

St. John

The mural paintings in St. John's Church were discovered during electrical wiring work, which was then followed by the restoration work. The paintings are the work of two masters. The more talented of the two painted the scene of the Baptism of Christ on a dark blue background on the northern wall. The landscape is suggested by schematized waves of the Jordan River in which Christ is standing.
