The Island of Vir is one of about 300 islands of Zadar's Archipelago, located seven kilometers away from Nin. In fact, today it is not really an island because since 1976 it has been connected to the mainland by an arched bridge. Because of the depth of the sea around Vir, nearby are important maritime routes. An important cultural monument is the Tower of Kaštelina from the 17th century which served as a defense from the Turks, and as a shelter for the population of the Nin region.
