The local monastery of third-rowers (Glagolitics), now in
ruins, was built in the 15th century, same as St. Nikola's
church. The Cres nobleman Bartul Bokina donated for building
sacral buildings. The monastery in Porozina was "repeatedly
slaved and looted, once even half burnt down..." in the 16th
century. There was "a spacial housing (foresteria) for the new
comers..." next to the monastery. It is easy to conclude from
the quotation stated above that the bargementransporters had a
lot of work in the narrowest section of the Vela vrata pass
long before a ferry line was established. These carriers were
from Cres and Krk. It is also obvious that the passengers were
offered food and board in the nearby catering establishment.
