Tourist info Murter - Tisno
Tisno is a small town and seat of the municipality in Šibenik-Knin in Croatia.
Tisno was named after the Croatian word Tisno which means strait, describing its position partly on the island of Murter, and partly on the mainland on a narrow strait just 38 meters wide, which separates the island Murter from the mainland. With the mainland is connected by a drawbridge that during the summer months is raised twice a day. Tisno was first mentioned in 1475 when the Venetians at this point built a fortress that protected the local population from the frequent Turkish invasions. Many residents from the interior during this period left their villages and took refuge in the safer island Murter. The parish church of St. Spirit was built in 1548, rebuilt in Baroque style in 1640. In the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, Tisno was the administrative center and cradle of trade and commerce, which was specially developed between the two world wars. Along with trade and commerce traditional activity has been growing grapes, olives, and fishing. The population is still engaged in agriculture and fishing, but tourism is slowly becoming the main source of income and it is mostly by renting apartments and rooms in private accommodation.
