The town loggia Cres
The relocation of the seat of the local government from Osor to Cres brought about the need for the construction of new municipal buildings – in the first place, a bigger town loggia which was essential for trials and City Council sessions, but also as a space for the marketplace. At the time there was an old shabby town loggia, but the ruling elite thought a new one was in order, a more beautiful and spacious one that would be worthy of a new government seat. The current town loggia was built in the early 16th century. It still maintains its historical function as a marketplace for the local people to sell their homegrown fruit and vegetables.
