History and monuments

The first documented mention of the village of Tisno dates from 1474, when people began to settle in this area when they sought refuge from the raids of the Turks and Venetians. The narrowest point (only 38 m) of the Murter Strait was the Murter Strait - Murterski tjesnac, from which the name of the village comes. At the beginning of the 18th century a bridge was built across the strait, but it was demolished and a new drawbridge was built in its place in 1832. Several monuments attract visitors to Tisno and its surroundings, the creation of some dating back to the 11th century. Near the village on the hill of Ivinj we find the Romanesque church of St. Martin from the 13th century, which is built on the foundations of an early Christian basilica.
