Historically, Primošten fortified itself against invasions with robust town walls in the 16th century and was connected to the mainland by a drawbridge, from which its name is derived, meaning "bridged." Atop the town’s highest hill stands the church of St. George, originally built in 1485 and later restored in the 18th century, offering panoramic views of the surroundings that are simply breathtaking.
Today, Primošten is not just a relic of the past but a vibrant host to numerous cultural and entertainment events, particularly during the summer months. Festivities such as the day of Our Lady of Loretta and Our Lady of Porto feature grand processions on land and sea, showcasing the town's deep-rooted traditions and communal spirit. Each August, the Primošten fest celebrates the town's heritage and customs, encapsulated in the motto: "Poor soil keeps its treasure, but what it gives is twice as worth."
