Sveti Martin ( Saint Martin ), a peaceful place, situated above the river Raša canyon ( valley ). It is surrounded by a number of small peasant houses in a genuine natur. The palace is approached through a stone gate and hundred-year old chestnut alley. Outside the building there is the St. Martin´s parish church, built in 1907, and the 16th century Madona of Health little ruined church. The palace was restored by efforts of Josip and Maria Belušić, and daughters Dolores and Barbara. It was a great challange since the building was a historical heritage and protected by the Croatian ministry of culture. The renovation started in 2001. and finished in May 2003.
