TZ Preko - Open Days: The Small Churches of Ugljan - All Saints

Year: 2025. - 16.August -> 18:00

In the shade of the pine forest, between Gornje Selo and Sušica, stands a small church dedicated to All Saints and St. Roch, first mentioned in a document dating back to 1454. This is likely the year when significant reconstruction of the church took place, while its construction probably occurred two or three centuries prior. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was in poor condition, so it was restored in 1925, and on May 9, 1926, parish priest Don Ivo Blasić blessed the new bell from the workshop of Jakov Cukrov in Split. It has been recorded in the parish chronicle from the first half of the 20th century that the people of Ugljan gladly made pilgrimages to this church, particularly on the feast day of St. Roch, the patron saint and protector against infectious illnesses. The church's current appearance has undergone slight alterations.

Last year, a new altarpiece by an academic painter Ines Rebac Knezović was installed. The painting was made using a special technique „strappati dal muro“.
