Location of Tribunj
Tribunj lies west from the centre of Šibenik in the middle of Dalmatia and as a western neighbour of Vodice. It is 12 km in a beeline and 17 km on the public road from Šibenik. The special feature of the town is that it consists of two parts. The larger part of it is on the mainland, while a smaller one, the historic heart of Tribunj is to be found on a peninsula. The most important public institutions, such as the municipality, the tourism office, the post office, the parish, the cultural house, and many restaurants are on the peninsula. The two parts are connected by a stone bridge that was built by the refugees of neighbouring villages.
Tribunj is a typical town in Dalmatia with narrow streets and houses built densely next to each other. The town offers extremely good opportunities for everyone. Lovers of history will find more than 500 years old buildings and churches here, but it can also be a wonderful place for newly-weds. You can find programs that you enjoy here from sightseeing to boating, but you don’t get bored either if you prefer water sports.

Main attractions in Tribunj

It is a simple, small church with a single nave, a cross-shaped opening on its front and a blade wall bell tower above it that has one bell. Today only one mass is held here annually and the church rather hosts exhibitions. The other historic church is the Saint Nicholas church, which is very popular among wedding couples.
The diocese of Šibenik initiated the church construction in 1452, but according to sources of that age it couldn’t be built before 1475 due to lack of finances. The Virgin Mary church which was built in 1732 and renovated in 2002 stands next to the parish. The parish church of The Assumption of Mary that was built between 1883 and 1885, stands at the foot of the Saint Nicholas mountain across the peninsula. The town’s inhabitants mainly live from tourism, agriculture and fishing.
