The famous epigram of Licinian from 474, composed of 16 Latin hexameters - the most beautiful example of classical literature - carved in the living rock above the source of Pokrivenica on the coast of the sea. With it, the Roman quaestor Licinian celebrates the source of "sweet water", which still flows there.
