Once the crown city of Croatian kings, Biograd na moru is a well-known tourist and nautical centre as well as the centre of the Biograd Riviera.
The town lies on a peninsula surrounded by modern marinas and a promenade with an unforgettable view of the Pašman canal and the islands that are scattered around.
The city has preserved some traces of roman time, while the remains of two churches date from the Early Croatian period. In the 18th century the parish church of St. Anastasia was built. It’s worth visiting the homeland museum in which you can see the archaeological collection of the prehistoric, antique and Early Croatian exhibits, and a collection of ship cargo from the 16th century. In the summer time, the entertainment in Biograd will be provided by numerous exhibitions, concerts of popular and classical music, a cappella singing and folklore, performances of the majorettes and memorable celebration of the Biograd night in August.
