Cultural Sites in the Broader Destination of Općina Polača

The cultural sites in Polača also offer different historical points of reference. The old Gradina was a fortification built by the Krbava princes in the 14th century for defense. The Old Church of Saints Kuzma and Damjan was built in 1836 southeast of the center of Polača, next to the local cemetery. This is distinct from the Parish Church of Saints Kuzma and Damjan in Polača, which was consecrated on February 26, 2006.

The Chapel of Saint Martin is located in the hamlet of Prtenjača in the settlement of Polača. Historically, it was used for catechism classes and Mass on the feast day of Saint Martin. Its religious uses and history thus complement the fortification, offering another perspective on the cultural heritage of Općina Polača.
