Pirovac, a village and harbour 26 km northwest of Sibenik. It was first mentioned in 1298 under the name Zlosela (Pirovac since 1921). It is located in the lowland dominated by the elevation of Sveti Marko (St. Mark) (65 m). Arable land is largely under the vineyards and the broader coastal belt northwest of Pirovac is mostly covered with forests. Main occupations are farming, viticulture, shipping, fishing and tourism. The village is located on the main road (M2, E65). The harbour is protected from all winds except the southerly ones; yachts drawing up to 2 m may dock along the pier. The beginnings of organized tourism date back to the mid-fifties. About 20 restaurants offer fish and meat specialities; during the tourist season local caterers organize regular seafood fiestas on Saturday evenings. Sports fishing enthusiasts may enjoy fishing at Vransko Lake, which hides capital specimens of pike, catfish and carp. Traditional events include the singing contest, the First Voice of Pirovac and the Pirovac Night, held at the peak of the tourist season. A very special occasion is also the feast of St. George, patron saint of Pirovac (23rd of April) and the feast day of Our Lady of Karmen (16th of April). Pirovac is the Dalmatian capital of indoor football, with an important competition held every summer.
