His holiday is celebrated in August, with a mass and a procession through the streets of Biograd. 4. The ruins of the Church of Saint John the Evangelist This basilica was built by the order of the Croatian king Petar Krešimir IV. and given to the Benedictine monks, who, in turn, founded their monastery in it. It was destroyed by the Venetians in the 12th century, and the remains can still be seen in the center of Biograd, as a testimony to the turbulent past of this coastal town. 5.
