Nin Essentials

Nin, the oldest Croatian royal town, is situated on a small island connected to the mainland by 16th-century stone bridges. This selection features the 9th-century Church of the Holy Cross, designed to function as a solar calendar, and the remains of the largest Roman temple on the eastern Adriatic. The list also covers the therapeutic mud of the lagoon, the 3-kilometer sandy Queen’s Beach, and the Museum of Nin Antiquities, which houses 11th-century Croatian ships.
