Kite above St. Quiricus

This cute little church is dedicated to a rarely chosen saint, allegedly martyred in AD 304. It presides over a small, intimate graveyard, lined with typical cypress trees, perched high on the Karst ridge.

Built in 11th century almost 250 meters above the valley, every visit is a not-so-subtle allegory of the final ascent to heaven.
