Baška Tablet

One of the oldest monuments of the Croatian language

The Baška Tablet is one of the most important historical artifacts in Croatia. It was discovered near Baška in the village of Jurandvor.

Dating back to around the year 1100, the stone tablet is written in Glagolitic script, one of the oldest Slavic alphabets. It represents one of the earliest written records of the Croatian language and is a key symbol of Croatian cultural identity.

The inscription documents a land donation by King Zvonimir to a Benedictine monastery, making it not only linguistically but also historically significant.

Today, the original tablet is preserved in Zagreb, while a replica can be seen in the Church of St. Lucy in Jurandvor.
