| POI BRIEF DESCRIPTION | |
| Description of the POI | The inscription in the church of Saint Vitus in Kosinj Bakovac is an important part of the Kosinj Glagolitic heritage. It dates from 1517 and can be found above the entrance door, where the coat of arms of Anž Frankopan and the Glagolitic text are turned upside down. There are different theories about the stone, e.g. that it was moved from the nearby Frankopan town of Ribnik in the Kosinj Valley, which some historians relate to the location of the first Glagolitic printing house in Croatia. |
