Nin, a tiny town close to Zadar, is best known as the seat of the princes of Dalmatia, and the seat of bishop Grgur ninski, who is known for his opposition to Pope in the 10th century and for introducing Croatian language to religious services.

With a population of about five thousand, and the heart of the town located on a tiny islet, this town is a true gem and one of the reasons why visiting Croatia is such a treat. The history and architecture of many of these small towns are unrivaled in many larger and more known countries.

The smallest cathedral in the world, St. Cross Church, the Church of Saint Nicholas (right outside of town), and the statue of Grgur ninski are the most significant sights. Wonderful little cafes are just a perk.

A picture of Nin is worth a thousand words.
