CROATIA - Primošten

Primošten is a small town in North Dalmatia, located close to Sibenik and just over an hour or so north from Split. This pretty little town was once on an island, although it was linked to the mainland in the 16th century.
In the past, Primošten was situated on the islet close to the mainland. During the Turkish invasions in 1542 the islet was protected by the walls and towers and a draw bridge connected it to the mainland. When the Turks retreated, the draw bridge was replaced by the causeway and in 1564 the settlement was named Primošten after the Croatian verb primostiti (to bridge). - via wikipedia
