Abstract

Thanks to its geostrategic position on the banks of the Krka River in northern Dalmatia, at the intersection of roads that connected the Sava-Drava interfluve to the eastern Adriatic coast, the area of Knin has been defended in the past by numerous and typologically different for- tifications. This paper will provide their chronological and typological overview from prehistory to modern times.
