Knin, Medieval fortress town in Šibenik-Knin County, Croatia.
The Knin Fortress spans across 30 acres atop Mount Spas, rising 100 meters above the surrounding Dalmatian landscape at the source of Krka River.
The settlement functioned as the capital of the medieval Croatian Kingdom during the reign of King Dmitar Zvonimir in the eleventh century.
The Days of Zvonimir festival features medieval reenactments and performances that celebrate the heritage of this former royal Croatian capital.
The town connects Zagreb and Split through major road and rail routes, offering transportation links between continental Croatia and the Dalmatian coast.
The fortress contains a church with a bell donated by Pope John Paul II in 1994, marking the religious significance of this ancient stronghold.
