Biograd on sea is a Croatian royal city first mentioned in the 10th century while in the 11th century it was the seat of the Croatian kings and bishops. The city flourished as the crown city of the medieval Croatian kings and in 1102 the Hungarian - Croat king Koloman was crowned in it. The city was destroyed by the Venetians in 1125 and the only cultural monument that survived is St. John's Basilica (11th cent.). Remaining proof of its tumultuous past can be seen in the Native Museum. We must emphasize a valuable hydro-archeological collection from a sunken 16th century ship found by the Gnali ć rocks not far from the island of Pašman. On Mount Ćok
