MALINSKA, a town, port and tourist centre in the
north-western part of the island of Krk. Chief occupations are farming, fishing
and tourism. Originally a small village in the region of Dubasnica, Malinska
developed as a port at the beginning of the 19th century, when the export of
wood was transferred from Porto to the cove of Malinska because of a better road
connection for transportation of wood from the island's interior. In the first
half of the 19th century the port accommodated steam ships of the Lloyd from
Trieste on their way to Dalmatia. Due to very good connections with the mainland
and mild climate, tourism started to develop at the beginning of the 20th
century, which spread between the two world wars, particularly after the Second
World War. The company Brodokomerc built in 1969 a high-category hotel in the
cove of Haludovo. The port lies on the eastern coast of the anchorage ground of
Malinska. The town has road connections with all towns and villages on the
island.
Of
the ruined church of St. Apollinaris (12th c.) on the old cemetery
southwest of Malinska only the bell tower from 1618 was preserved, built by the constructors
of Krk. The hamlet of
Bogovici features a chapel of
Our Lady of Mount Carmel from 1644; there is the Gothic-style church of St.
Andrew from the 15th century in Zgombici, and Strilcici are known
for the ruins of the Gothic church of St. Nicholas.
