Tourist info Obrovac

Obrovac is a small town in the county of Zadar in Croatia. It is located in a beautiful canyon of river Zrmanja, 12 km from its confluence with the sea, and 45 kilometers east of the city of Zadar. It developed at the crossroads to Zadar, Šibenik, and Knin, at the foot of the Velebit mountain. Today's settlement Obrovac developed around the medieval fortress on the hill, and in the documents, it was first mentioned in the 15th century as Obrouec. It was in possession of the Krbava princes Kurjaković until the 16th century when it was occupied by the Turks. Then begins a turbulent period for Obrovac, which was several times conquered and sacked. After the final termination of the Turkish threat in the 18th century, the place slowly developed.
