Valun
pictorescue fisherman village
VALUN, a typical fishing village sheltered by the Bay of Pernat, and nestled by the Bay of Cres, is known far and away for the discovery of the famous Valun Plate. The plate was found in the small Church of St. Mark, which is in the village cemetery. This exceptional document, extremely important for the history and culuture of Croats in the region, dates from the IX. century, and can be admired today on the wall of the Parochial Church of St. Mary. The Valun Plate is known for its well preserved bi-lingual inscription, one in the Glagolic and the other in Latin text. Copies of other similar inscriptions are being kept in the lapidarium outside the "Juna" tavern.

Exactly opposite Valun, along the range of plateaus that rise on the central part of the island, and chained to the top of the hill is where the village Lubenice is situated, bravely resisting storms and wind gusts. The Romans, therefore, named this place Hibernitia (meaning Winterly), building an unassailable fortress that rises on top of a 378m high cliff, sheltered from the east by a protective wall with two doors. Once there, the first impression yu get is that you are on deck of a firmly anchored ship, carrying you into another time dimension. Traces of the village's glorious past are still clearly visible, such as the gun slits and the port-holes built in the fortress walls. It's enough just to climb on the short wall that encircles the city square to feel intoxicated, feeling like a seagull that freely glides over the tempestuous surface of the navy-blue sea.
