Rural Ensemble of the Settlement of Strilčići

Strilčići is a small village on the island of Krk, in the municipality of Malinska-Dubašnica in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County. It lies at the very south of the Dubašnica area and is the smallest settlement there, so it is interesting to anyone who wants to see the traditional way of life on Krk without crowds.

The village developed in the 18th century. The main complex consists of a row of four traditional houses and one residential building with a farm building, around which stand several stables, mošuna sheds and threshing floors. The houses are single- or two-storey buildings with a rectangular plan, simple facades and gabled roofs covered with channel tiles. A special feature is the skodi, outside stone staircases and vaulted terraces. On the ground floor is the konoba, and upstairs was the living space. The doors are of solid wood, the windows narrow and two-leaved, with shutters or louvres. On the balatura, a terrace reached by steps from the yard, there is often a šterna (cistern).

The settlement is a protected cultural property, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-7288.
