The living spaces and defense facilities were fortified by high defense walls since the tower was built during tumultuous times. The stone with which it was built was brought from island Brač. Today, the courtyard of Čorić tower is used as an open-air movie theater during summertime, however the tower is closed to visitors due to its poor condition. Church of St. Cross - Gothic church built in the early 15th century, more precisely in 1402. In 1421 it was dedicated to St. Cross at which time it was also a parish church.

During summer the church houses modern art exhibits. The parish church of St. Cross with a belfry – this church was built on the foundations of an old chapel in baroque style, the work of a Šibenik master Ivan Skok. The walls are decorated with windows from the same period and the interior enriched with a Baroque altar dedicated to St. Cross. The belfry is the work of a master from Dubrovnik called Vicko Macanović and was built over a 20 year span. The bell tower has two balconies (loggia) with two large windows on the lower one and three small windows on each side on the top one. Church of St. Elijah the Prophet - this church was built in 1298 by the inhabitants of Pišće. Only in 1493 was it dedicated to St.Elijah the Prophet.

Numerous archaeological finds show that the area of today's Vodice has been inhabitated since the Iron Age. Favorable natural preconditions, like plenty of drinking water, fertile ground and the mild climate, have always attracted people to settle there. The main agricultural cultures of the area were olives, grapes and cherry marasca. Arausa, the old name of Vodice, was mentioned for the first time in written documents in 1402. The meaning of the word "Arausa" is actually "a water source", describing the most important advantage of this area. In 1412, Vodice came under the Venetian rule. In order to defend from frequent Turkish attacks, the town was surrounded by walls and towers in the 16th century. The fortification system successfully protected town during several Venetian - Ottoman wars. After the fall of Venetian republic at the end of the 18th century, the wider area of Vodice came under the Austrian rule.
