Lucija (St. Lucy) in the village.

The name of Gdinj comes from a word "bditi" - to stay up late, i.e. to keep vigil, which indicates that Gdinj was an important look-out post. Mounds from the Bronze Age can also be found, stretching this far on the plateau from Zastrazisce. These were Illyrian tombs of stones piled up high, and then covered with massive stone slabs. The so called Vela gomila (the big mound), 30 metres in diameter, and the one next to it, slightly smaller, were unfortunately destroyed.
