Primošten (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a village and municipality in Šibenik-Knin County, Croatia. It is situated between the cities of Šibenik and Trogir, on the Adriatic coast.
History
In the past, Primošten was situated on the islet close to the mainland. During the Ottoman invasions in 1542 the islet was protected by the walls and towers and a draw bridge connected it to the mainland. When the Turks retreated, the draw bridge was replaced by the causeway and in 1564 the settlement was named Primošten after the Croatian verb primostiti (to bridge).
It is built on a hill and is dominated by the parish church of St. George which was built in 1485 and restored in 1760 close to the local graveyard from which a unique view spreads to the sea and the surroundings.
