Die Insel Krapanj ist die kleinste und am wenigsten besiedelte Insel des Archipels von Sibenik. Krapanj ist im Grunde eine flache Steinplatte im Meer (der höchste Punkt ist nur 7 Meter hoch auf der 0,4 km² großen Insel). Der westliche Teil der Insel ist bewaldet, und im östlichen Teil befindet sich das kleine Dorf Krapanj. Die traditionelle Industrie auf der Insel Krapanj sammelt und verarbeitet Schwämme, die die Insel seit Jahrhunderten bewohnen. Deshalb wurde hier auch ein interessantes Schwamm-Museum eröffnet. Bereits im 15. Jahrhundert war Krapanj ein Zufluchtsort für Flüchtlinge vor der türkischen Besatzung. Aus dieser Zeit gibt es ein Franziskanerkloster und eine Kirche. Das Kloster ist wegen des Renaissance-Kreuzgangs und des Gemäldes von Francesco da Santacroce einen Besuch wert. Von Brodarica, einem kleinen Dorf acht Kilometer südlich von Sibenik, verkehrt stündlich ein Boot zur Insel.

We toured the sponge museum and admired the enchanting sponges processed here. The paintings on the walls of the monastery made me love and even appreciate the good work of artisans. We also took a boat ride to sail through the Island.

We had a boat ride through the Island and were fascinated by the vicinity of the surroundings. In the evenings i would stay in the quiet and peaceful church for meditation and even say a prayer. The interiors of the house are magnificent.

The idea of visiting the sponge industry was great. I came here to see how the sponge was manufactured. It was a great experience. Later I went to the sponge museum where the guide explained the origin of sponges. He took me around the museum. I had gained a lot of knowledge when I left.

I learned of the history of the island and it providing refuge for refugees from Turkey.I went on a boat ride through the island and was fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the island from the sea view. I took a lot of picture of this place for remembrance.

This is one of the Islands of Sibenik archipelago. It is really small. It has existed since the 15th century. I loved how small and remote it was. I visited the Franciscan Monastery and I was perplexed by its ancient beauty.
