Culture and History
The history of the village also includes the Church of Saint Michael, which stood on Gradina. After it was burned down and destroyed by the Ottomans, it was rebuilt in 1705. Spolia made of red marble have been incorporated into the exterior steps of the building at Pećina; they may have come from the altar of the Church of Saint Michael on Gradina.
After its restoration, Pećina became an important cultural and tourist site in the Drniš area. Above Vrelo Pećina stands a stone building with Neoclassical features, complementing the site's cultural heritage value. The wider region around Pokrovnik also includes Barone Fortress, Fort Saint John, Fort Saint Michael, and Sveti Nikola.
