History and monuments

On the territory of today's resort of Sv. Filip i Jakov in the ancient past (roughly 3 thousand years ago) there was a small Liburnian settlement, the remains of its walls and graves, from which the finds come, can be seen today in the Biograd museum on the sea. With the arrival of the Romans in the 1st century AD farm buildings and traditional villas for rest (villa rustica) were built for retired Roman soldiers. On the island of Frmić, which is located opposite the village of Sv. Filip and Jakov, are the remains of a Roman late antique water reservoir. Later, with the arrival of the Croats, this territory is acquired by St. Filip i Jakov in importance mainly due to the proximity of the royal city of Biograd na Moru.
