The town of Omišalj is located on the northwest side of the island of Krk, at an elevation of 85 metres. What used to be a famous Roman settlement is today one of the oldest towns on the island and a centre of culture, tourism and hospitality. While walking its streets, dare to visit the parish church of the Assumption of Mary from 1213 and the early Christian basilica from the 5th century, which boasts the ruins of the former town of Fulfinium.

- Visit the Parish church of the Assumption of Mary whose construction is considered to have begun in the 12th century. The church was built as a three-naval Romanesque basilica but it was upgraded over time so it now includes elements of different styles, from the pre-Romanesque to Romanesque period, Renaissance and Baroque.
- The Feast of the Assumption of Mary celebrated on 15 August, called Stomorina (from Santa Maria) by the locals, is also connected to this church. A stomorina is made a day before the feast above the grand altar in the church: grapes, figs and pears are tied to a metal frame in honour of Mary, mother of Jesus.
