The Church of St. carles Borromeo in Okrug Gornji was built in 1735, on the site of a former small church or chapel. It is a single-nave building with a rectangular apse and a bell-gable at the top of the façade. St. Charles of Borromeo has been celebrated since 1610 as a protector against the plague, for his help to the sick. Inside you can see the main wooden altar with a picture of Our Lady of Mount Carmel with St. John, St. Lawrence and St. Charles Borromeo. The painting is probably from the time of the construction of the new church since Our Lady of Mount Carmel began to be celebrated in this area at the end of the 17th century, as the protector of peace after the departure of the Ottomans.
