ON THE COAST BY THE ADRIATIC SEA, CITY OF TRIBUNJ IS LOCATED
In the past, old village from which Tribunj developed was located on the St. Nicholas hill which was dominated with medieval Jurjevgrad fortress. Since Šibenik diocese in 1298 until late 17th century the village was also named Jurjevgrad. In later years inhabitants moved to the small island and connected it with stone bridge to the mainland. Village on the island was first mentioned in 1463 under name of Tribohunj. In the beginning of 20th century remains of defensive wall and fort door built on the island were still visible. They were build during Venetian reign to defend the village from Turks.
Today Tribunj has 1536 inhabitants mostly engaged in fishing, tourism and olive oil production. Tribunj’s fishermen fleet is well known in the region for their fresh fish which can be consumed the same day at the local restaurants.
