Great views and nice places to sit after the hike up. I was not expecting the cemetery. So many more recent burials in a very old town. Intriguing.

St. George’s Church in Primošten is a beautiful historic site, perched atop the island with stunning views. First recorded in 1681, it offers a peaceful and scenic spot to explore. A charming alleyway leads up to the church from the main square, adding to the experience of wandering through the old town. Worth a visit for both its history and picturesque setting!"

St. George’s Church is one of the most beautiful sites in Primošten. The church at the top of the island was first recorded in 1681 by the glagolitic parish priest Pavo Bernic. A nice alleyway leads here from the main square in the old town (and from other directions as well). There is a graveyard surrounding the church so it’s important to be respectful and not just look for nice views of Primošten walking over the graves. There are also public toilets at the site that were open and free. You should definitely visit this beautiful place. This is a nice location to witness wonderful Primošten sunsets.

Awesome view around the half island. This is a cemetery Chapel though.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
