Tisno was named after the narrow strait which divides it into two parts, since the passage between the island and the mainland is only 38 meters wide. The name of this Dalmatian town was changing throughout the history according to the power shifts, but the oldest Croatian name Tischno can be found in the 16th century draft at the Šibenik City Museum. Folk tradition says that the settlement emerged when the residents eager to save themselves from Turkish slavery, came to the islands.
Tisno gained a Parish in 1548, when the Church of St. Spirit was also consecrated. It contains an early Gothic statue of the Virgin with Child, unique in Europe. It is coated with silver and gold without being previously painted, and is now exhibited all around the world. During the reconstruction of the Church of St. Martin in Ivinj, the walls of a Roman villa rustica were found, as well as the basilica and a hexagonal pool – an early Christian baptistery. There are still searches for the basilica cemetery, most likely destroyed during the Turkish invasion.
As for today, Tisno is a Dalmatian place with a soul. You will gladly store it in your heart and willingly return. Go fishing, walk in the fields, swim in the beautiful coves, or stay and enjoy the specialties of the hard-working locals. Other than fish dishes, they will gladly offer you a bottle of wine, appetizer of homemade brandy, and will make sure that you’re having fun: we recommend seeing a donkey race (Trka tovarov), a manifestation of international character, hilarious blend of sport and entertainment. We need to highlight the great feast of Our Lady of Caravaggio (May 26th), as well as the moving bridge, which stands out as a particular attraction. Its lifting, followed by the parade of luxury boats and accompanied by glances of the tricked crowd, is a real motif for a stunning summer postcard!
