A sundial on the old bunker at the southwestern entrance to the bay of Salbunara (Sarbunora). The author is Zagreb sculptor Denis Krašković. As the author himself says, the sundial was created at the invitation of the ecological association "Mali zeleni" to realize an artistic work in Biševo. In order not to confuse the harmony and perfection of the beautiful nature, the author decided on a sundial, at the location of the old bunker, thus giving the bunker a new function. The calculation was made by architect Ivica Kiš. The sundial is of analemmatic type, i.e. man has the role of a shadow pointer. The sundial was never finished.
