11. Majdan Trail

11. Majdan Trail

About the trail

Built in the 17th century as a caravanserai – an inn for travellers, Maškovića Han was recently converted into a heritage-hotel, with a museum and restaurant. From the Han our trail passes the church of St. Nediljica (Santa Domenica) and leads to the observation post on Majdan, part of the educational trail “Birds of Prey.” You can return via the cemetery church of St. Mihovil, or by a longer route alongside the lake reeds.

The main hero in the story of Maškovića Han, Silahdar Yusuf Pasha, was a poor boy from Vrana who rose to the highest ranks in the Sultan’s court. He began building the han as his residence, but fate derailed his plans.
