It was once part of the great Roman Empire, and in the Early Middle Ages, the Croatian Kingdom was born here. Today, Nin is an inevitable destination for all romantic souls and nature lovers.

Discover Organic Salt Production at Nin Saltworks
Visit the Saltworks of Nin, the only place on the Croatian Adriatic where salt is produced organically with a little help from the strong summer sun and the cold north-eastern wind. This salt is ecological, therapeutic, and biodynamic because, besides people, diverse wildlife and healing mud also participate in its production. Learn about the process of salt production, visit the Museum of Salt, and treat yourself to one of the products from the Saltworks souvenir and deli shop.
