Geocache Description:


Crkva sv. Nikole



Staza koja vodi do ove crkve prolazi uz stare suhozide, dva dobro očuvana ovčarska tora, ograđena prostora za držanje ovaca. Za dijelove suhozida iznad Punte Mikule pretpostavlja se kako su nastali još u antičko doba. Puntu Mikula pomorci su nazivali i Punta spasa. Naime, kada bi brod zahvatilo nevrijeme, dolazak do Punte Mikule značio je dolazak do zaklona i spas za brod i za mornare.

Neposredno uz Puntu Mikule je i veliko podmorsko arheološko nalazište na kojem se istraživalo 1954. i 1963. godine. Istraživanja su nastavljena 2018. godine u suradnji Grada Paga i Arheološkog muzeja u Zadru i bila su vrlo uspješna. U podmorju, na samo nekoliko metara od Punte Mikule, pronađeno je, među ostalim, luksuzno stolno posuđe, fina keramika, keramička lula, posude za proizvodnju šećera, ostaci mula za privez brodova.

Pretpostavlja se da je uvalu uz crkvu Sv. Nikole bila lazaret, karantena za brodove koji su dolazili u pašku luku.
Potrebno vrijeme za prolazak ove kružne staze je jedan sat.


The path that leads to this church passes along the old dry stone walls, two well-preserved sheep pens, a fenced area for keeping sheep. Parts of the dry stone walls above Punta Mikula are presumed to have been built in ancient times. Punta Mikula was also called Punta spasa by sailors. Namely, when a ship was caught in a storm, coming to Punta Mikula meant coming to the shelter and salvation for the ship and for the sailors.

 

Next to Punta Mikula is a large underwater archeological site where research was conducted in 1954 and 1963. The research was continued in 2018 in cooperation with the City of Pag and the Archaeological Museum in Zadar and was very successful. In the seabed, just a few meters from Punta Mikula, were found, among other things, luxury tableware, fine ceramics, a ceramic pipe, containers for sugar production, the remains of a mule for mooring ships.

 

It is assumed that the bay next to the church of St. Nikola was an infirmary, quarantine for ships coming to the port of Pag.

The time required to pass this circular path is one hour.
