Drnis
Drnis ist eine Stadt in Kroatien, die im Inneren Dalmatiens liegt, etwa auf halbem Weg zwischen Sibenik und Knin. Der Name Drnis wird erstmals in einem Vertrag vom 8. März 1494 erwähnt. Es gibt jedoch Spuren einer älteren mittelalterlichen Festung, die von der kroatischen Adelsfamilie Nelipić an einem Ort namens Gradina erbaut wurde, der dieses Gebiet beherrschte. 1522 wurde die Stadt aufgrund ihrer strategischen Lage von den osmanischen Türken erobert. Viele Gebäude aus dieser Zeit sind noch heute erhalten. Während der Barockzeit wurde eine von den Türken erbaute Moschee in eine Kirche umgewandelt.Von Sibenik aus sind es nur 20 Minuten Fahrt nach Drnis.

The fortress and the big castle were such an attraction. I enjoyed touring these places and was sad when my guide told me it was time to leave. I will come back again here soon.

I was thrilled to see the mosque that was turned into a church. Thanks to our guide who gave us a detailed history about the Ottoman Turks who conquered Danish due to its strategic position. An educative tour it was.

I set my eyes on the many buildings that are still well preserved upto now. I loved the architectural buildings around that made me appreciate the great work of the artists involved . We even took a photo near the older medieval fortress for memories.

The geographic location of this town was impressive. I admired its beauty and history. It has existed since the 15th century. Seeing the mosque that was converted to a church was so amazing. It was well decorated with all the right paintings. It was divine.

The presence of Turkish culture is predominant in this location, especially in the building designs. I learned that the Turks conquered and took over the location in 1522. Hence, the people maintained the architectural style of its rulers.

I toured the mosque, built by the Turks during the Baroque period that was turned into a church later. the location has a cultural and historical significance to the locals and the Croatian culture in general. i enjoyed the adventurous tour.
