Condura Croatica In 1966, at the entrance into the port of Nin, remains of boats were found by chance. They were taken out of the sea 1974 and transferred to Zadar.These boats sailed in the 11th cent, beginning of the 12thcent. It is supposed that they correspond to the konduras mentioned by Emperor Konstantin Porphyrogenitos in the 10th century when he spoke of the Old Croatian navy. This is one of the reasons why the discovered boats were called Condura Croatica. This boats were the smallest but most dangerous war boats in world history. Condura Croatica were described by the Byzantine Emperor Bizantski car Konstantin Porfirogenet, and thanks to these documents we were able to find out that the Croats had a great number [about 80] such boats.7-8 m in length, they were built in the classical manner with ribs and paneling connected with wooden and iron nails. Their shape classifies them as narrow boats, and they were used as quick row boats, and in case of favorable wind a rectangular sail would be raised and then the function of the parallel joists at the bottom would change and they would become boat stabilizers. These boats were made and probably sailed at the time of the Croatian rulers Krešimir IV and Zvonimir. According to a historical document at the time of King Krešimir Croatia had 20.000 rowers on konduras, and some sources say that King Tomislav had 15,000 kondura rowers ready in Nin.The Condura Croatica iis exhibited today in the Nin Museum of Antiquities in a separate pavilion while a replica is near the Lower Town Bridge.

The Monolith The Monolith is the highest point of the park, on the Monolith Plateau, rise circular stairs towards the Monolith. The figural part, with 121 figures, is 14.12 m and the total height, including the plinth, is 17.3 m high. The Monolith was carved from one single granite block, hence the name (mono: one, litho: stone). Whereas the melancholy theme in the fountain is the eternal life cycle, the column gives room to a totally different interpretation: Man's longing and yearning for the spiritual and divine. Is the column to be understood as man's resurrection? The people are drawn towards heaven, not only characterised by sadness and controlled despair, but also delight and hope, next to a feeling of togetherness, carefully holding one another tight in this strange sense of salvation.

Northrop F-5A Freedomfighter The F-5 is a supersonic fighter combining low cost, ease of maintenance, and great versatility. More than 2,000 F-5 aircraft have been procured by the USAF for use by allied nations. The F-5, which resembles the USAF Northrop T-38 trainer, is suitable for various types of ground-support and aerial intercept missions, including those which would have to be conducted from sod fields in combat areas. The F-5 first flew on July 30, 1959 and deliveries to the Tactical Air Command for instructing foreign pilots began in April 1964. Pilots from Iran and South Korea were the first to be trained in the F-5, followed by pilots from Norway, Greece, Taiwan, Spain, and other Free World nations which have adopted the F-5. A two place combat trainer version, the F-5B, first flew in February 1964. In 1966-67, a USAF squadron of F-5s flew combat missions in Southeast Asia for operational evaluation purposes.
