The centre of Momjan consists of fine bourgeois houses built between the 17th and the 19th century, while the Church of St. Martin, with its five altars is a reconstructed Gothic church. We also find several single nave churches from the 18th and 19th centuries hidden within the town. The ruined castle on the cliff existed as a small fortress as early as the 13th century. It was damaged during a Venetian attack, but restored. In the 16th century it became a castle with a tower, living quarters and a chapel.
