Burnum Amphitheater: History comes alive, an experience that transcends
Hidden in the heart of the Dalmatinska Zagora region, deep in the rocks and karst and overgrown with macchia brush, stands a gem of ancient history: the Roman military camp Burnum.
It was erected at the turn of the new era, at a position that allowed for control of the passage across the Krka River. Burnum was the seat of the XI legion of the Roman army of Claudiae Piae Fidelis and IV legion of Flaviae Felix. Auxiliary units (cohorts) were stationed here in a small camp constructed in the eastern part of the complex.
Visitors can view the arches of the command building in the camp, the only preserved military amphitheatre in Croatia (near the village of Ivoševci) and several walls of the military exercises area.

My name is Mićo Samardžija, and I’d like to take you on a journey through the region I proudly call home. Here, I’ve selected some of my favourite places from my "Guide to Knin and its surroundings for adventurers and photographers", the first adventure and photography guide that combines a travel guide, a photographic monograph, and my personal journal of exploring, wandering, and photographing the natural beauty around Knin. So, grab your camera, put on a comfortable pair of walking shoes, and open your heart to new experiences. Let’s explore Knin and its surroundings together. I’m sure you’ll return home with wonderful photographs, and even better memories.
