The three-story Čorić tower from the 17th century, which was built by the Fonda family from Sibenik as their summer house, is also noteworthy. On the west side of Vodice, the Gothic church of St. Crosses from the 17th century. Dominating the square is the Baroque parish church of the Finding of St. Kříže (župna crkva Našašća sv. Križa) with a belfry dating from the middle of the 18th century.
