Knin

Tucked between the Dinara massif and the springs of the Krka River, Knin is a place whose character is shaped by its strategic position in Croatia’s Dalmatian hinterland. The town is dominated by Knin Fortress, a vast fortified complex extending along a rocky ridge above the centre. Its walls and gates reflect centuries in which Knin was contested by Croatian rulers, the Ottoman Empire and Venice. In the Middle Ages, Knin held an important role in the Croatian kingdom and is closely associated with its early rulers. The surrounding country of karst slopes, river sources and mountain approaches gives the town a markedly inland Dalmatian identity.
