History

Kofran-Rotondo, the castle of the Štafilić family was built in 1508 by the Trogirian nobleman Stjepan Štafilić on an island, and later linked to the land with a movable bridge. The eighteenth-century parish church was built by Ignacije Macanović, as an elegant late Barroque single-naved edifice.[1]
