PICTURE 1 Church of St. Rok     
One can say that the Church of St. Rok dating back to the 16th century is the main symbol and the heart of Bibinje. It is situated in the southern part of the peninsula, next to the onetime town walls. The tradition about the old Bibinje people having erected a church for St. Rok as a sign of gratitude for having saved them from the plague is still cherished. An interesting feature: the layout of the tribe's graves in the Church of St. Rok (from "Bibinjski korijeni", I. Sindija).

At the foot of the Sasavac hill, a new, big cemetery has been built. In 1995, the All Saints Church was built there and a bell was put up with the following text: "All God's saints pray for us!" and "A present from the religious people of Bibinje". In the apse of the church there is a stone altar with a cross shaped like Croatian wickerwork placed on the front side.
