2. Burnum Ruins
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 13 reviews
The remains of Burnum, an ancient Roman military camp, are located in the settlement of Ivosevci, about 19 km far from the Town of Knin in the direction of Kistanje. This archaeological site consists of two units. Following the road from Knin to Zadar on the left hand side two arches are situated. These are probably constituent parts of the main entrance (porticus principia) to the Roman military camp of Burnum, colloquially referred to as Suplja crkva (Hollow church).
