Primosten is known by its name Capusta
Cista from documents from 1564 aD.
Originally it was an island, a place
protected from Turks by a stonewall
with towers, connected to the mainland
with a mobile bridge that was replaced
with embankment later on and Primosten
becomes a peninsula.
Even today Primosten kept an atmosphere
and all the architectonical characteristics
of the medieval Mediterranean fishermen
village. Church of Sv. Juraj built
in 1485 aD dominates the town. It
is in the highest point of the former
island. Church of Gospa od Milosti
from 1553 aD and chapel of Sv. Rok
from 1680 aD are also famous.
Today Primosten is an important
tourist destination with many possibilities
for accommodation, many restaurants,
taverns and coffe bars.
Stone cells of vineyards of Babic
on nearby hills are testimony that
man s work can transform and ennoble
even the most hostile environment.
Beautiful beaches on Raduca peninsula
with crystal clear sea, white stones
and green pine trees make a perfect
natural unity.
