Krapanj is a small, car-free island off the coast of Primosten, famous for its unique sponge diving heritage. The island's Franciscan monastery, dating back to the 16th century, houses a museum displaying a collection of sponges, archaeological artifacts, and religious art. Visitors can watch local divers bring up natural sponges from the sea, a tradition that has sustained the island for generations.
