Before the arrival of the South Slavs, the Dalmatae reportedly lived in the region. The famous history of the Prozor Fortress begins in parallel with the history of Vrlika in the 7th century, when Croats settled there and created a village at the source of the river Cetina, in a field below the Dinara mountain. In the 9th century, probably in the time of Duke Branimir of the Croatian Duchy of Primorska, the old Croatian Catholic Church of Sv. Spasa near Vrlika, then called Vrh Rike.
