Information about the National Park Kornati

 

 

History of the National Park Kornati

Neolithic

Neolithikum
Already during the Neolithic people lived on the Kornati. This is suggested by finds of stone axes in the Zeljkovac field, below the mountain Pedinka on the island of Kornat.

 

Illyrians and Goths

Illyrer und Goten
The first confirmed colonization of the islands date back to the time of the Illyrians and Goths. This is indicated by small square houses that are individually or in groups (there are remains of example, under the mountain Pedinka, above the Zeljkovac field). Furthermore, there are small settlements (Šćikat, Stražišče, Tureta, Grba) and accumulations that indicate a larger population at that time (these are found on almost all heights on the islands of Kornat and Žut).

 

The Roman Empire

Das Römische Reich
Even the Roman Empire has left its mark on the islands of Kornati. So can the remains of rustic villas are admired Svrsati in Proversa and fish tanks. Other traces of the Roman Empire are mainly found under water, as the salt plant in Sipnatam or the port facilities in Vela Proversa.

 

The Byzantine Empire

Das byzantinische Reich
According to many, the rule of the Byzantines or Goths has the most distinctive building, which is located on the Kornati leave,: The Tureta fortress on the island of Kornat. The construction can be attributed to the late antiquity or the early Middle Ages and probably dates from the 6th century, even before the colonization of the Adriatic by the Croats. It is believed that the fortress was built for military purposes, in order to secure the navigation in the then dangerous Adria.
Likewise, an Early Christian basilica is (also from the time of the Byzantine Empire) below the fortress Tureta. Today most of the apse and part of the foundation walls can be visited. Due to the size of the church (30 x 13 m) suspected that during this time a considerable number of residents must have lived on the island.
Situated next to the church are traces of a building. Here, scientists do not agree on whether it is a Templar monastery or a Benedictine monastery.

 

Migrations

Völkerwanderungen
With the arrival of the Croats in today's Dalmatia, the Roman population was forced to flee from the mainland to the islands. However, this was short-lived, since the sea posed no further obstacle more for Croats. So it happened that the Kornati almost uninhabited remained until the 13th century..

 

Middle Ages

Mittelalter
From the 13th century. Kornati were resettled. Thus, various constructions can be visited from the Middle Ages. One of these buildings is the church "Gospa od Tarca" (dt. Madonna of Tarac, often referred to as Queen of the Sea) in the Bay of Tarac which was probably built on the remains of an early Christian basilica. An exact dating of this church is not possible, so vary the datings from 12./.13. C., 14th c. Until 15/16. Century. Also of medieval origin of the remains of a salt warehouse, and the submerged in the sea remains a salt production plant (probably late 14th century) in the Bay of Lavsa.

 

Republic of Venice

Republik Venedig

The Kornati Islands were particularly in the 16th century. For fishing known. Thus, the Republic of Venice has built on the small island Vela Panitula a fort, which has served mainly to collection of taxes on fishing in the Kornati. Very close to the castle, on the island of Piškera (Jadra) a fishing village was built. The two islands were connected by a bridge. Also a church was built with gothic elements in the fishing village, this was inaugurated in 1560th With the fall of the Venetian Republic the late 18th century. The castle was like leaving the fishing village. So today there are hardly any traces of the village yet, the same is true for the fort. However, the church was restored. You will still visits regularly today.

Nationalpark Kornaten - Geologie

Die Bezeichnung der Kornati-Inseln ist auf die besonderen geologische Begebenheiten in dieser Meeresregion zurückzuführen. Die Untergrund-Beschaffenheit unterscheidet sich nicht besonders von jener des naheliegenden Festlandes, d.h. der Untergrund der Kornaten besteht aus sehr porösem Kalkgestein. Anders als alle anderen Adriainseln weisen die Kornaten zum offenen Meer hin steil abfallende Steilwände (Kliffs) auf. Diese Steilküsten werden von der lokalen Bevölkerung als so-genannte "Kronen" (kroat. krune, ital. corone) bezeichnet, was insbesondere bei seitlicher Betrachtung auffällt. An einzelnen Stellen reicht die Steilküste bis zu 90 m unterhalb des Meeresspiegels (etwa bei den Inseln Piškera und Rasip). Die höchsten, steil in das Meer abfallenden Felsen gibt es auf der Insel Klobučar (82 m ü.M).
