Osor

Osor stands at the junction between Cres and Losinj islands, connected by a movable bridge that allows maritime traffic through the canal.

The settlement dates back over 4000 years and served as a significant maritime center, featuring defensive walls from multiple historical periods.

The settlement maintains an open-air museum layout with stone buildings and streets that display architectural elements from Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance periods.

The bridge connecting the islands opens twice daily for boat passage, requiring travelers to plan their crossing schedule between Cres and Losinj accordingly.

Archaeological findings reveal that Osor once functioned as a major episcopal center with a cathedral and multiple churches during the 9th century.
