Historic Churches of Nin

Nin, the oldest Croatian royal town, preserves a collection of early medieval religious sites dating back to the 6th century. This selection includes the 9th-century Church of the Holy Cross, designed to function as a solar calendar, and the fortress-like Church of St. Nicholas. These Pre-Romanesque and Romanesque structures, along with the former cathedral of St. Anselm, reflect Nin's historical significance as a major Christian center and the seat of early Croatian bishops.
