== History == In 1636 the village was settled by Roman Catholics (Croats), who after the Cretan War (1645–1669) would be reduced to 7 families by 1697, steadily replaced by Serb Orthodox population. In 1928 and 1947 lived 79 and 47 Roman Catholic families respectively, but by 1987 were again reduced to only 7 families.
