Although the oldest known record of Drniš was recorded back in 1494., the history of Drniš can only be validly traced back to the time under Ottoman rule. During the Ottoman rule, Drniš gradualy developed from a borough to a town which captured attention with its extremly favorable strategic position. During the Ottoman rule in Drniš, te previously built fortress was upgraded, fibe mosques with four accompanying minarets were built, along with a clock tower, a water system, etc. Among other things, this paper presents new, hitherto unknown facts about the position and appearance of the Turkish bridge, which had 5 arches. Prosperity began with the establishment od the Venetian gouvermant in the area of Drniš. The fort was upgraded with bastions, the mosques of Šahin-aga Terzibalić and Halil-hodža have been converted into the church of St Barbara – also known as the church of St Anthony, in 1731 the church of St Roch was built, and in the second half of the 18th century Venetian barracks and stables were built. As time went on, part of the Drniš monumental heritage was left to the ravages of time. Thus, the magnificient barouque fortress was reduced to the remains of the remains in the 20tah century, and in 1951 the dome of the church of St Anthony collapsed. The extremely poor conditions of Ottoman and Baroque architecture in Drniš ultimately led to a series of conservation works in the second half of the 20th century, during which a facsimile restoration of the dome of St Anthony was done, along with the reconstruction of the Gradina fortress and the minaret.
