History
Tisno was first mentioned in 1474 during the Turkish invasion and during the war against the Venetians when numerous refugees fled to Tisno to seek shelter.
Tisno has a memorial-site dedicated to the several hundred Croatian civilians killed and dropped into a local pit in the aftermath of World War II by the communist Yugoslav regime.[4][5]
Tisno was referred to as Tijesno up to the census of 1981.[6]

Each year on 26 May, thousands of pilgrims come from all over the world.
