History

The diocese was ancient as it was founded no later than 532, and in the papal sway, originally as suffragan of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Salona, later transferred to the ecclesiastical province of the Archdiocese of Spalato (later Salona, then Split, now Spalato-Macarsca).[ citation needed ]

On 17 October 1154 it became suffragan of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Zara.[ citation needed ]

On 30 June 1828, while inner Dalmatia was part of the Austrian empire, the bishopric was suppressed by Pope Leo XII's papal bulla Locum Beati Petri , along with the Diocese of Ossero, and their territories merged into the Diocese of Veglia or (according to the source) into the Diocese of Krk.
