Povile is a fisherman's village in Croatia on the Adriatic coast beneath the old town of Ledenice (cro. Ledenička Gradina). It is connected by the D8 highway. It has two little chapels, St. Mary Magdalene (Croatian: Sv. Marija Magdalena) and St. John (Croatian: Sv. Ivan). The former is still in use and the latter now is a private storage.
