Our Lady of Loreto monument, Religious monument in Primošten, Croatia

The Our Lady of Loreto monument rises 17.5 meters tall on Gaj Hill, featuring a gold-silver mosaic, colored glass, and mirror exterior coating.

The monument concept originated in 1835, with initial dedication plans from 1927, leading to its final construction and inauguration on May 10, 2017.

The statue incorporates seven rings with religious motifs, including the tree of life and depictions of Jesus Christ and Mary with black faces representing modesty.

Inside the hollow concrete structure weighing 45 tons, visitors can access a wooden chapel at the base to place coins and written prayers.

The monument contains slits in its base where people deposit prayers, while its surface reflects sunlight through a combination of mirrors and colored glass.
