Banj - this placid settlement of exemplary olive growers, vintners and fishermen developed around the Church of St. Cosmas, built in 1356. The surrounding hills offer a spectacular view of the Pasman Channel.
If you drink your fill of fresh spring water in Banj, you will certainly want
to return to this peaceful and beautiful place.
The town of Banj was first mentioned
in 1265 in the form of Bagni. This was also the name of the island, “Insula Bagni”.
The island had this name in years 1290 and 1333. The name itself derives from
the Roman word Balnea which means bath (spa). Discovered Roman coins prove that
Banj was inhabited in antique times and that Romans had their baths in it. The
church of St. Lucas is the main church in Zdrelac, which was always the part
of Banj and from which it was separated in 1825.
