44. Church of St. Joseph (Sveti Josip)

Church of St. Joseph in Voz from 1784

The Church of St. Joseph in Voz was erected in 1784 by Nicolò Baffo on his own estate as a place where the Sunday liturgy could at least occasionally be performed, probably for the needs of those who participated in the seasonal tuna fishing, which in the past regularly took place here. The chapel, located in the immediate vicinity of the sea, next to the former ferry port, brings the people of Omišalj together on 19 March, the feast day of St. Joseph. The building is exposed to the bura wind and other weather conditions and therefore requires frequent renovation. It was significantly extended in the early 19th century in the spirit of classicism, with a tall bell gable above the façade.
