If you reach Sukošan from the highway, you’ll see on a hilltop over the vineyards and olive groves the small church of St. Martin which used to be the parish church of the medieval village of Prljane.
The building is of a Romanesque style and located in the area of Kaštelina. The church was mentioned for the first time in 1387 and it witnessed the troubled history of this area and it was completely destroyed several times.
The last time was during the Croatian War of Independence by the end of 1991. The local people and the war veterans are convinced that St. Martin protected them during the troublesome period and restaurated the church which was inaugurated on November 11, 2005, on the Feast of St. Martin. The holy mass is celebrated in the church on this day every year.
