Sukošan is a village and a municipality in Zadar County, Croatia. It is located along the Adriatic tourism road between Zadar and Biograd na Moru. [edit] History
The parish church of St. Kasijan, erected probably in the eleventh century (fragments with pleter motifs - interlacery ornamentation), assumed its present aspect in the seventeenth century. It tends to be open for special occasions, such as August thirteenth, the feast of St Kasijan. A small church from the seventeenth century rises on the graveyard. Fragments with "pleter" (interlacery ornaments) are incorporated in its door-posts and on the front. The ruins of the fifteenth-century summer villa of the archbishops of Zadar can be seen on an islet in the bay. The earth utilized to form the base of the villa was dredged from the neighborhood Punta, forming a festering tidal pool, known as Lake Sukošan, or Sukošan Jezero. The ruins of the mediaeval fortress erected by the counts of Bribir rise on Cape Bribircina. [edit] Research Tips
