Abstract

Punat is a small town situated on the south-west part of the island Krk, on the east coast of Punat cove named Draga. The earliest district consists of streets Kolušin, Galija, Javorika and Guvnić, concentrated around the square which can be seen on the map from 1821. In the mid 19th century, the population started to grow, followed by town expansion to the west which we can see on the map from 1879. In the late 19th century, tourism started to expand, along with new buildings, but it was hindered by the two World wars. After the 1960s, tourism starts to develop again and many old houses were sold and adapted. In these years, thanks to the new constructions, a new part of town named Buka was created. Along with urban expansion, everyday life changed as well. People were no longer farmers, cattlemen or fishermen. Now they were working in tourism. The main difference between the houses in the old part of town and Buka is that the new ones no longer contained traditional architectural elements of Punat houses. They were built from new materials and adjusted to a new economy market. Considering that the old town center was officially recognized as cultural heritage in 1968, every removal or adaption of old architecture must be closely and adequately monitored.
