The Church of St. Mary on skriljinah (Beram)
Church of St. Mary on Shkriljinah is a Gothic church located one kilometer from the center of Beram. It is best known for medieval frescoes painted by Vincent of Kastav in the 15th century. Although experts believe that the scene Adoration of the Kings is Vincent's most valuable work, the most popular scene is Danse Macabre. It is also one of the oldest depictions of this theme. The lesson is that before death we are all equal and that no one can escape it, so the pope, cardinal, bishop, king and queen, fat innkeeper, child, beggar, soldier and merchant walk towards the open grave with the dancing dead.

This was one of the most delightful attractions we went to because the history and architecture were amazing. The staff there were so friendly and the light show was cool too. It was a good mix of tours but also just had time to explore ourselves which was fantastic.

My vacation to the church of St Mary was fantastic. I was guided to the tower in the church. It was a great viewing point of the nearby places.

The artwork in this church ensembles gothic worship. I was quite scared to enter the church
