Porozina (Italian: Faresina) is a small port village in Croatia, located on the northwest coast of Cres.

In the Classical era there was a lighthouse on the hillock above the port, that is how the town got its name (Pharum insulae).

On this site today we find ruins of an old Franciscan monastery of Saint Nicholas and an ancient Gothic church, dating to the 15th century.

The monastery was used by Franciscan Glagolitic monks of the third order, who managed to preserve Old Church Slavonic as a liturgy language,[3] even up to the 13th century.

The cove offers good natural protection from all the winds, so this spot was the only one suitable for docking from time immemorial.
