Novigrad

Few towns in Zadar County have a history as closely tied to the 14th-century imprisonment of the Croatian-Hungarian queens Elizabeth of Bosnia and Mary as Novigrad. The old settlement rises beneath Fortica, the remains of a medieval fortress that recalls contests for control of the Croatian coast. It faces the Novigrad Sea, a long enclosed inlet linked to the Adriatic through the Maslenica Strait. Stone lanes, a small harbour and waterfront dining lend Novigrad a more restrained rhythm than Croatia’s larger resort towns.
