History of the Emerald Waterways
While Krka National Park is best known today for its dramatic waterfalls and emerald-green pools, its history stretches far beyond its natural beauty. The Krka River has carved its path through limestone canyons for millennia, creating a landscape that nurtured life and settlement since prehistoric times. During Roman rule, the area flourished with roads, aqueducts, and towns—remnants of which still echo through ruins like Burnum.
In the Middle Ages, Krka’s secluded riverbanks became home to Christian monasteries, including the Krka Monastery, a center of spirituality and learning. The harmony between water and stone shaped a peaceful rhythm of life, where nature, faith, and community thrived together. Today, Krka offers a glimpse into this timeless connection—where cascading waters carry stories of centuries past.
