Church of St. Quirin, dedicated to the patron of the town of Krk, is a beautiful example of Romanesque sacral architecture in the city of Krk. Today, it is part of the whole cathedral complex. The first information about St. Quirin dates back to 1335, when the people of Krk gave the rent of the island of Plavnik "for the repair of the church of St. Quirin in Krk". It is assumed that it was built in the 12th century. The specialty of the church of St. Quirin is in its two-story and geographical orientation, since its apse is very atypically directed towards the south, probably due to the narrow space on which it was built. The lower church has the title of St. Margarita, martyr from Antioch, while the upper one is dedicated to St. Quirinus, the patron of the town of Krk.
