The legend has it that the island has been made over the centuries by local seamen who kept an ancient oath after finding the icon of Madonna and the Child on the rock in the sea on July 22, 1452. Upon returning from each successful voyage, they laid a rock in the Bay. Over time, the islet gradually emerged from the sea. The custom of throwing rocks into the sea is alive even nowadays. Every year on the sunset of July 22, an event called “Fašinada”, when local residents take their boats and throw rocks, widening the surface of the island, takes place.
Besides the church from the 17th century, there is also a museum of gifts which were mainly donated by sailors and captains who had lived through the storms, battles, and long time at the open sea.
