There are several hypotheses about this
site. A quite plausible one is that this was a church dedicated to St.
Hermagoras. The name of the site is probably associated with this saint whose
relics were transported to Aquileia in the early 5th century, from where his
cult spread across the northern Adriatic area. Archaeological research has so
far confirmed the existence of a larger Late Antiquity dwelling whose
inhabitants in the period from the 5th to the 7th century engaged in fishing
but also metallurgy. The find of a gold coin dating back to the reign of the
Byzantine Emperor Theodosius II is particularly interesting.
Fragments
of ceramics from the sea bed in Blatna Cove attest to the fact that this was an
ancient anchorage. Mohorov and shaded Blatna Cove can be reached along a
non-asphalted road and then by walking along a forest path. Dry stone walls and
the remnants of traditional structures called mošune remind us that livestock
was raised intensively on the island until recently. Mošune are dry stone
stalls with straw roofs and are typical of the island of Krk. Although in
recent centuries they have mostly been used for housing livestock, it is
assumed that their form derives from prehistoric human dwellings.
