Kaprije
Kaprije is an island in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea, situated in the Šibenik archipelago. The island has area of 7.11 km2 (2.75 sq mi) and is composed of hills divided by transverse and longitudinal valleys where grass and sparse pine forests grow.[1][2] Grapes and olives are cultivated there.[3] The main industries are agriculture, fishing and tourism.[3] Automobiles are not allowed on the island.
In 14th and 15th century the island belonged to noble families from Šibenik.[2] During Ottoman conquests in 16th and 17th century, the island was inhabited by refugees from mainland.[2] Around that time, a Saint Peter's church was built on the island.[2]
Its population of 189 lives in the eponymous single settlement of Kaprije, which is part of the City of Šibenik.[4][5]
