Rural Ensemble of Linardići, Krk

Linardići is a village in the area of the Town of Krk, on the island of the same name, in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County. It is interesting to a visitor as a well-preserved example of a pastoral and agricultural settlement from the 15th century, when Croats and Vlachs from Velebit arrived in the area of today's Dubašnica and Poljica.

The settlement is slightly compact, and the homesteads link residential and farm buildings into a whole. The houses are stone ground-floor or two-storey buildings, with a konoba below and the dwelling above; stone vaults with an outside staircase predominate. Older houses have a wooden platform by the entrance, and on the gables projections for the bread oven stand out. Beside them are small dry-stone stables, mošune, with a forecourt for milking, called a magar. The agricultural structures are represented by circular places for threshing grain, guvna.

A protected cultural property, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-5178.
