In village Jurandvor was discovered an important monument of Croatian literacy. The stone tablet 199 cm long and 99 cm high, with a Glagolitic text of 13 lines, was discovered by the priest of Jurandvor Petar Dorčić in 1851 on the grounds of the former Benedictine church of St. Lucy. It was lying in the chapel like a gravestone and the believers walked over it causing significant damage. This is one of the oldest documents in the Croatian (old Croatian language), which made this little Krk village famous, transforming it into an icon of Croatian culture and dliteracy.
