Bibinje is a small place located on the north of Dalmatia, in the approximate vicinity of one of the most popular and famous centers on the Adriatic – Zadar. The name of this place is mentioned in the middle of the 11th century (Bibano, more precisely Bibanum). The population has been involved in agriculture, cattle breeding and fishing, and from the beginning of the 20th century, tourism. This small place is rich with historical monuments which testify to its past, seeing how there are no written records of the foundation of the town.
