What to See in Vodice

Church of St. Mary of Mercy (Monastery)

The Monastery of St. Mary of Mercy forms a quiet religious complex just outside the town centre. It consists of a church and adjoining monastery buildings that house the local religious community. The setting is peaceful, inviting visitors to pause and absorb the calm atmosphere before continuing their walk.

Prižba

A short distance along the coast you will find the modest remains of Prižba, a former settlement whose past is still visible in the landscape. Scattered stone fragments mark the site of an old church, serving as silent reminders of the community that once lived here.

Church of the Nativity of Our Lady

This church stands as a notable landmark in the Šibenik‑Knin County area. Its architecture and position make it a worthwhile stop for anyone interested in the region’s religious heritage.

Church of Blessed Aloysius Stepinac in Srima

Located in the nearby village of Srima, this church is dedicated to the blessed Aloysius Stepinac. It is a modest but meaningful site that reflects the local devotion and can be appreciated while exploring the surrounding countryside.

Holy Cross Church

Right in the heart of Vodice, the Holy Cross Church serves as the town’s main Catholic parish. Its central location makes it hard to miss as you wander the streets, and it offers a glimpse into the town’s spiritual life.

Prvić

Just offshore lies the island of Prvić, a small but historically rich part of the Šibenik archipelago. Covering roughly 2.4 square kilometres with about 10.6 kilometres of coastline, its highest point is Vitković at 79 metres above sea level. The island hosts two traditional Dalmatian fishing villages—Prvić Luka in the southeast and Šepurine in the west—linked by a short stretch of road. Both settlements are protected as national cultural heritage. Archaeological work beneath the Church of the Birth of the Virgin has uncovered ancient pottery, graves in amphorae, an early Christian capital and a Roman roof tile from the first century AD. Today, Prvić’s quiet coves and pebbly shores attract those seeking natural beauty and solitude along the Adriatic.

Trg Franje Tuđmana

The main square of Vodice, Trg Franje Tuđmana, forms the lively centre of town. It is where locals meet, cafés spill onto the pavement and visitors naturally gather to soak up the atmosphere, making it an ideal starting point for exploring the surrounding streets and waterfront.
