Sinj – Reisgids Kroatië

A historic inland town in the fertile Cetina valley, celebrated across Croatia as the home of the Sinjska alka — a traditional equestrian tournament held annually since 1715 to commemorate the town's miraculous defence against an Ottoman army, and recognised as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The town is dominated by the hilltop fortress of Stari Grad and a basilica housing the miraculous painting of the Miraculous Lady of Sinj, venerated by pilgrims. The Cetina river canyon, Peruća lake, and the surrounding Dalmatinska Zagora countryside offer excellent outdoor experiences.
