According to the existing legend, seven Croatian kings were crowned in the town of Nin. After the coronation ceremony each king would go on horseback to the small church of St. Nicholaus and present himself to the people vowing to defend the homeland of Croatia.
The church is located on a small hill, in the field called Prahulje, just a few kilometres out of Nin. St. Nicholaus is the only preserved example of the Romanesque architecture with the central groundplan and the cross-ribbed vault. It dates from the end of the 11th and the beginning of the 12th century.
