Dramalj is a village in Croatia. It is part of the town of Crikvenica, extending from the neighborhood Crni mol to the tourist complex Kačjak. A tourism boom in the nearby Crikvenica area and the rest of the Croatian Littoral in the 19th century drove the development of Dramalj.
Dramalj was first mentioned in the 18th century, when it was named Zagorje - Dramalj. In the beginning, it was a fishing port with olive groves, most of which were owned by the inhabitants of Tribalj valley.
There are ruins of an ancient Liburnian hill fort enclosed with a dry-stone dyke above Dramalj. Amphorae found around the Kačjak peninsula are evidence of an ancient Roman port located there at the time. Another one of Dramalj's landmarks is a "toš", an old olive press.
In the Austro-Hungarian times, Dramalj was part of Sveta Jelena County (St. Helen), which was founded in 1809. [2]The parish house and the Church of St. Helen were built after 1812. The church was built on the foundations of an old chapel, when Dramalj belonged to Belgrad parish.[2] G. Capovilla, a stone carver from Rijeka, made the altar in 1796. The construction of the church was financed by the parish and initiated by Mate Balas, then parish priest. The interior of the church was refurbished in the 19th century, the pulpit in 1837 and the main altar in 1845. The name of the village was soon after changed to Sveta Jelena. After the World War II, the former name Dramalj was restored.
The Culture Hall is located in the vicinity of the church. In 1939, the building was home to the first public library in Dramalj.
