A few words about the history of Knin
The benefits offered by the area of today's Knin have been recognized in prehistoric times.

All those who like to visualize what things looked like in the past in the city of Knin will see amazing pictures. Imagine that an extinct species of man is searching for an area suitable for life. Arriving at a place that it surrounds nine mountains and intersects seven rivers at the time, it was like finding oil in the Garden today while you were pulling out potatoes.
Bearing in mind such a natural position, it should not be surprising that Knin is one of the oldest European cities. Under the name Ninia is first mentioned seven years before the birth of Christ.
