Down the Adriatic road towards Pirovac, 15 km away from Šibenik and directly on the coast a small fishermen's town Tribunj is placed. Tribunj is a typical Dalmatian town with narrow streets and close-built houses. During the Venetian reign, the ancient Tribunj, situated on an islet, was surrounded by defensive walls whose slight remains are visible even today.

The witnesses of its past are the church of St. Nicholas,  erected in 1452, the Jurjevgrad fortress built in 1650 on the St. Nicholas Hill as a defence from the Turks and the church of the Virgin Mary, on the road to Vodice, dating from 1435. The old part of the town is located on an island and a bridge, which was later built, connects the island with land, where a new settlement developed. The oldest written documents date from 1464. Back then, Tribunj was known as Triubahunj.


Today, the people of Tribunj mainly pursue fishing and agriculture, except for tourism, and they are especially famous for the cultivation and processing of olives into quality oil. Tribunj has kept its architectural heritage and pristine nature. Small ports are very lively, ships and boats hurry every day carrying fresh fish. The peacefulness and beauty of the town have been experienced by famous artists who chose Tribunj to work in quiet, surrounded by the harmony around them, in old, renovated houses, in their workshops There are 1,200 beds available to guests in privately rented rooms, apartments and camps.


While the new, modern marina, with the capacity of 270 berths, many yachts and sailing boats will find a safe anchorage. East and west of the town, there are several well-kept beaches, maybe the cleanest on the Adriatic, according to constant measurements. From the rich tourist offer, traditional donkey races stand out as a way of preserving this autochthonous animal. If add the vicinity of Murter and Vodice, it is clear that Tribunj is a place for rest and complete satisfaction.
