Villa 1355-1035

Tribunj - a Dalmatian fishing village with narrow stone houses and narrow streets. It originated on an island that was connected to the mainland by a stone bridge, and has now expanded beyond the former wall that used to defend it against the Turks. The Church of sv. Nikola [St. Nicholas] built in 1452, the fort Jurjevgrad on the hilltop from 1650 and the Church of Djevica Marija [the Virgin Mary] in 1435 are evidence of its rich and heroic past.

Today, the locals mostly engage in fishing, agriculture (olive oil) and tourism. Private homes with well-kept apartments, restaurants offering fresh fish daily, campsites and modern marinas are tempting for all tourists. There are beautiful beaches surrounding the village, of which the most famous is Sovlja bay.

Near the town, on the island of Logorun, is the world's first reserve for the protection of donkeys, which is why right in Tribunj a well-known party is held – a donkey race every first week in August.
