Sinj, a tiny Croatian town is steeped in rich history and vibrant culture. An offbeat tourist destination, Sinj is situated in the heart of the Dalmatian hinterland. The highlight of the town is the Sinjska Alka, an equestrian competition held on every first Sunday in August to celebrate the Croatian Venetian victory over the Ottoman soldiers. Participants wear elaborate ornamented costumes akin to the ones worn by the knights in the 18th century. Visit the church of the Miraculous Lady of Sinj that dominates the town’s main square. The church dates back to 1712 and has preserved its original appearance despite several earthquakes and wars. Check the Kamicak fort, a star-shaped fort built-in 1712. Perched on a hill, the fort is opposite the church and one of the iconic symbols of Sinj. Discover the splendid cultural and historical heritage of the Cetinska Krajina region at the Museum of the Cetinska Krajina that houses a vast collection of arms, medallions, medals, and orders.
