Annunziata church

Annunziata – “Turn not thine eyes away from the splendour of this star, if thou desirest not to be overwhelmed with storms“.
The inscription, dating from 1858, above the entrance into the votive church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary located on the cape of Čikat. This was the place were sailors would be seen off and welcomed back, a place of fear, prayers, joy and tears. After hurricanes and storms they survived, sailors would bring to the chapel votive paintings and gifts.
