There are five churches in the town, with the largest of them dated 13th century. The worst disaster in town history was an outbreak of the plague in 1456 that decimated the city's population. During World War II, the forces of Fascist Italy established the Rab concentration camp on the island where over a thousand people were killed between 1942 and 1943. A memorial complex built in 1953 commemorates the site of the former camp. Category:Islands of Croatia de:Rab ro:Rab First page | Prev | Next | Last page |
