    According to the ancient legend, seven Croatian kings were crowned in the town of Nin. After the coronation ceremony each king would go on horseback to the small church of Sv. Nikola and present himself to the people vowing to defend the homeland. That is why this area is so important in Croatian history.
    The church is located on a small hill – actually a pre-historic tumulus or burial mound, in the field of Prahulje, just a few kilometers out of Nin. Sv. Nikola is the only preserved example of the authentic Romanesque architecture as a church with the central floor plan and the cross-ribbed vault. It dates from the end of the 11th and the beginning of the 12th century.
