Venice's newest landmark goes beyond the conventional, located as it is in the splendidly restored 19th-century Molino Stucky formerly a flour mill and granary.

There is a sizeable community of Italians and the town is officially bilingual (Croatian and Italian). One popular tourist attraction is the church of St. Euphemia. The building process started in 1725, and lasted until 1736. Three main altars were built in 1741, and the organ was installed in 1754. The façade was designed and built in the second half of the 19th century. Many altars and paintings enrich and embelish the church from within.
