Osor lies at a narrow channel that separates the islands of Cres and Lošinj. The channel was built in Roman times to make sailing possible. Now the islands are connected with a rotating bridge. Originally, Cres and Lošinj were one island, Osor, before the channel was cut.
The first settlements of the area date in the prehistoric times. In Roman times, Osor, then called Apsoros (Ancient Greek: Ἄψωρος), also used to refer to the whole island of Lošinj,[3] was an important center of trade on the route to the ports of Northern Adriatic.[4] After the fall of Roman Empire, Osor became a part of Byzantine Empire and was a seat of diocese since the 6th century.
In 840 it was burned down by Saracens,[5] in the 10th century, it came under Croatian rule. In the 14th century it was under the rule of the Republic of Venice. From the 15th century on, Osor lost its strategic and commercial importance. Due to malaria, it was ultimately abandoned as the administrative center of the island in favor of the town of Cres.[4]
Today, Osor is a tourist-oriented town in Croatia, with sculptures of Ivan Meštrović and others scattered around the center. Several camping sites are located in the surroundings.
Ecclesiastical historyEdit
Residential bishopricEdit
The bishopric of what was called in LatinAbsorus was founded circa 600, maybe as early as the 6th century, as a suffragan of the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Late Roman provinceDalmatia Inferior's capital Salona (later of Split), but the first bishop of the see whose name is known was Dominicus in the last third of the 9th century. It has also been called Absor and Lusin.
The diocese was from 1146 a suffragan of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Zadar/Zara. Its cathedral, the Church of the Assumption, was built from 1463 until 1497. The area was taken by the Ottoman Empire in 1621 and held for a short time, during which its Christians travelled to Šibenik to fulfil their Easter duty of Confession and Communion.
Absorus ceased in 1828 to be a residential see, when its territory was added to that of the Croatian diocese of Krk.[6][7][8]
