Today I finally found the lovely little church of Stormorica after several years of looking and I don't know how many driving and hiking expeditions. (It's a story but the only way I finally found it - damn the maps and gps - was a pathless walk taken on a blind hunch from the Franz Josip bridge through olive groves and a friendly family out picking their olives.) Set on a hillside in a shady oaken grove, it incorporates a fragment of Roman wall. The clearance mounds around it show plenty of Roman ceramic fragments. There is a new stone plaza complete with white stone altar that shows this 900 year old church is still used occasionally today.
