It houses excellent examples of metalwork in silver and gold, testifying to Nin's blooming culture in the early Middle Ages. Near the road leading to the upper town gate is a statue of Bishop Grgur Ninski, the work of the sculptor Ivan Mestrovic, who here recreated a smaller copy of the sculpture in Split. On the road to Zadar, just about one kilometer south of Nin, you will see in Prahulje the Church of Sveti Nikola from the 11th century. The cupola was replaced later by an octagonal defence tower serving as an observation point against possible Turkish attacks. When passing Bokanjac, you might be lucky and see the intermittent lake Bokanjacko blato, which in rainy weather can swell to a surface area of up to five square kilometers.
Eels reach the sea from here through underground channels.
