Historically, Biograd’s greatest moment passed in 1102, when the Hungarian king, Koloman, was crowned King of Croatia and Dalmatia here, following the Pacta Conventa, an agreement between Croatian nobles and the Hungarian state. Sadly nothing of the medieval town remains, having been devastated by the Venetians in 1125. Although it was later rebuilt, it was destroyed once again by the townspeople themselves as they retreated from the Turks in 1646. Today it’s a fairly unremarkable place, made up largely of the standard concrete-block summer houses that were built along the coast during the tourist boom of the 1970s.
