According to records, today’s Vižinada is about a thousand years old. The real rise was experienced after residents of former Ružar settled here. Ružar was already inhabited in prehistoric times. Life in Ružar continued to flourish even during Roman times because the important Roman transportation route Via Flavia was passing by. It is assumed that the place was inhabited until the beginning of the 15th century when its inhabitants moved to today’s Vižinada.
Vižinada is developing today with the help of natural beauty and its gifts, as well as the rich historical and cultural heritage, combining a rich past with the demands of the modern world.
