Primosten is a small town situated on an island located between Sibenik and Split in Croatia. The old town is situated on a small island which is connected with the mainland. The town’s name originates from the Dalmatian term ‘primostiti’ that means bridge. Surrounded by seven small islands, Primošten is a true gem with breathtaking scenery. Today Primosten is one of the most attractive destinations on the Adriatic. Its quaint architecture includes old stone houses, churches and narrow stone-paved streets which harmoniously blend the past and the present. Once a fishing village, the town has developed into a touristic paradise in this part of the Adriatic with a charm that is found in very few places.
Apart from its beautiful architecture, Primosten attracts tourists with its emerald beaches and crystal clear waters. In the past, the population was oriented towards cultivation of grapevines, olives, fishing but today there is a switch towards tourism. The city is a globally renowned tourist destination that even attracts repeaters year after year to this idyllic angle of the world. Primosten was first mentioned in old documents from 1564 under the name Capusta Cista. In the past it used to be an island protected by stone walls and towers and in the 16th century, a bridge was built that connected this village with the mainland. Later the bridge was replaced by an embankment and Primosten thus becomes a peninsula and more easily accessible. This fact contributed to its development and the touristic flourish it was met with.
