Nin is the oldest Croatian royal city. The picturesque old town is located on a small island in the middle of a lagoon. Nin has the smallest cathedral in the world. You enter the city via a brick bridge with a great city gate. As soon as you walk through it, you are captivated by the atmosphere of the old town. I was particularly fascinated by the remains of a Roman temple. The old town is small but beautiful.

What I really liked is that you can sit outside on the stone steps and definitely also celebrate a church service.

Beautiful bridge with a city gate into the old town of Nin. Great photo stop 📸, but often very busy. Small tip: At the other end of the town there is also a city gate. It is much less busy there.
