The nuns escaped to Zara, and the Benedictines crossed to Tkon in the island of Pasman, where they still are. Sebenico lies within a fine harbour at the mouth of the Kerka, some six hours from Zara. During the Italian struggle for freedom and unity many patriots were shut up in the damp dungeons of this fort by the Austrians.
The chain of islands which forms a natural breakwater to the coast of Dalmatia is broken into two groups by the Punta Planka, the ancient Promontorium Syrtis, south of Sebenico. To the northern group belong Veglia, Cherso, Ossero, Arbe, Pago, and a number of smaller and less important islands, including Ugljan, opposite Zara, and Pasman, a little farther south.
