Medieval Novigrad, Zadar County

In 1386, the Hungarian and Croatian sovereign Mary and her mother, Elizabeth of Bosnia, were imprisoned in Novigrad. Elizabeth was strangled in Novigrad in 1387 but Mary was liberated. It was part of Republic of Venice in 1409. Venetian rule in Novigrad briefly interrupted by Ottoman occupation between 1646 and 1647 during Cretan War.

The historic little town on the southern side of the Novigrad sea (Adriatic Sea) is situated in a narrow bay. The Novigrad sea is abundant in fish and shellfish. The town has preserved its Mediterranean architecture, and partially also its system of fortification.

This project may not strictly adhere to the past but it more or less gives an impression how medieval period Novigrad might have looked like.
