There are many houses which are empty during the year, and used for the rest during the summer. Here the stone is the base, foundation, strength. It lasts what is written down on the stone. Composing rocks on rocks, our ancestors have built their houses, courts, shelters from the wind and from the enemy. Our home doorsteps, chimneys, gutters, fireplace, board, tray and plates are made of the stone are. The stone is the corona on the well, the altar in the church, the cross on the crossway, and the board above the grave. In the vineyard is the stone again: walls, dry stone walls, “prizide”.
And on the street: stone paths, walkways, curbstones, paved streets. Residences and resting places are also stony, as well as solariums and stone under the barrel. Some people here are very skillful with the stone. They cut and sculpture the stone with their hammers and chisels. Few of our masons from the passed century need to be mentioned: Joso Cvitan, Jere Crnica, Sime Martinovic, Krste, Benedikt and Marko Severdija, Marko and Jere Antic and other. They have made steps, walls and other.
Later, the son of one fisherman has joined them. He grew up by the seaside, beside Pilin jaz. Now as the expert tries to improve and complement rustically walls. Stipe Mrsa, construction engineer, has obligated Zaton with his seaside paths, alleys and roads. He increased numerous edifices, harmonious with the area and insolated. The area among them has been filled with the verdure. All this surpass the new church tower. Pointers of his watch, besides time in minutes, are showing something more important: how togetherness is able to achieve plenty.
