Unconsciously known for shipbuilding, which has been developed today but not as much as before. Thanks to the Austro-Hungarian rule, which, by investing in the villas that today make up this place, has stimulated tourism, which today is the main branch of the island’s survival of fisheries and agriculture. The city itself was re-italianized after the Austro-Hungarian rule and annexed to Italy until 1942 when the island was returned to Croatia. The lowest number of inhabitants after the war was 2200. With the development of tourism, Lošinj is now positioned on the map of the world as one of the most famous summer destinations.

The Veli Lošinj is mentioned already at the end of the 14th century when the first 12 families moved in with the permission of Osor to today’s area of St. Nicholas above Veli Lošinj. Over time and with the constant development it spread and came to the first of all St. John to expand to church m

Mother of God and eventually came to the present center of Velog Lošinj, a river that was built several times and built one of the largest churches in this area which currently has one of the most famous collections of paintings from the era of famous Italian painters of Kvarner islands B. Vivarinija, F. Polenza and other. Not so, Velo village was a short time known for the sailing shipbuilding, until the primacy took over the motorboats. There is a tower in the center of Velika Lošinj, which protected the inhabitants from attacking the pirate from the sea, and to preserve the food they had sacrificed to them. Inside the tower are 2 floors, with an open tip from which they attacked with hot oil.
