Pine forests, nice beaches and a picturesque and well-protected
location make Rogoznica an attractive
tourist destination. In addition to
bathing and other water sports, visitors
may enjoy cul-tural and entertainment
programs, organized during the tourist
season. The most important events are
the Rogoznica Fiesta (held on the first
Saturday in August) and the Fishermen's
Night.
Since Rogoznica has a number of
fishermen, fresh fish is regularly
offered. Among local specialities, the
best is Rogoznica-style fish stew
("brudet").
Apart from usual sports and
recreational activities, Rogoznica also
offers fencing opportunities. The
fencing school and the International
Fencing Camp at the Fencing Club "Galeb
Grafoplast" have been active since 1987.
Organized excursions are also offered.
The most important religious feast is
the day of Our Lady of Kapalica, with a
large procession of boats.
ROGOZNICA, a village and
harbour in the cove bearing the same
name, 25 km south of Sibenik; population
825. Chief occupations are farming,
fishing and tourism. The village is
located on the peninsula (the former
islet of Kopara was connected with the
mainland by an artificial dyke in the
second half of the 19th c.) which
divides the cove of Luka Rogoznica into
the western and the eastern part. The
cove of Rogoznica east of Cape Ploce is
a favourable shelter for yachts.
Rogoznica lies on a local road,
branching off from the main road (M2,
E65).
Rogoznica was populated as early as ancient times. The parish church was built in 1615 and reconstructed in the 19th century. On top of its village are the remains of a fortification; the construction was started by the French in 1809. - In the Rogoznica field are mediaeval churches of St. Nicholas (with stelae) and Bl. John of Trogir, constructed in the mediaeval Dalmatian architectural styles; an artificial island was made in the bay in 1993-1996, to be used as a marina.
