Sažetak
Vrana has been an important centre in Dalmatia since the 11th century at the latest. Croatian King Dmitar Zvonimir donated a Benedictine monastery in Vrana to Pope Gregory VII where he kept his insignia. From the 12th to the 14th centuries Vrana was in possession of the Knight Templars and from 1312 the Hospitallers when Vrana was the seat for the whole of Hungary and Croatia. At the beginning of the 15th century, Vrana territory came under Venetian rule and soon, with the advancement of the Ottomans towards the West, it became exposed to Ottoman war activities and was occupied in 1538. Through the 16th and 17th centuries, Vrana was on the border of the Ottoman Empire and the Venetian Republic, whose cannons destroyed the fort during the War of Candia (1645- 1669). It is in this area that the Department of Archaeology of the University of Zadar has conducted archaeological research on several sites over the last 13 years. Although only part of the architectural remains and small finds can be directly related to the war, the results of the excavations help to clarify life on both sides of the Venetian-Ottoman border. In this presentation, we will present some of the results relating to the end of the Middle Age and Early Modern Times, the most turbulent era in the history of Vrana.
