Lost Templar City ✝️ | Exploring Abandoned Medieval History

Vrana (Crow) was a Fortress City (9-17th Ce.) that was the site of many battles throughout its history. Donated to the Papal State by the Croatian King, Zvonimir, it was then handed over to the Knights Templar, a mysterious order of Knights and Medieval Bankers. Vrana was fought over by the Croatian Noble Families and then changed hands several times between the Venetians and Ottomans. During the Cretan War the Venetians destroyed it by bombing it for 4 days straight with cannons and mortars to prevent its use by the Ottomans. It sits in ruins ever since.

Nearby is a beautiful cave-spring that once was the source of the Ancient Roman Aqueduct to Zadar. There was a Roman Shrine there, and traces may still remain. Throughout history it was visited by many noble families including the Habsburgs and of course the Knights and Kings of Vrana.
