CULTURE, HISTORY AND ATTRACTIONS

Tribunj was first mentioned in 1463 under the name Tribohunj. The old town was located on a hill with the peak of Sveti Mikula. There was a medieval fortress Jurjevgrad with a settlement of the same name at the foot. The present town was built on an islet that was later connected to the mainland by a stone bridge. The name Trebunj or Trebić comes from the autumn sun god of the pagan Croats.
