Given the maritime heritage of Kraljevica, the statue of this significant saint was created in 2008 by the accomplished artist Josip Diminić. The statue serves as a reminder of the important characteristics of Kraljevica and holds a special place in the hearts of the local residents while offering visitors a glimpse of peace and beauty as they pass by.
