They lean on the Knights Templar of the 12th century, as well a on the Knights Hospitallers of the 13th and 14th century. With various activities, they wanted to draw attention to the powerful and important position of Vrana in the Middle Ages, which at that time represented a royal city - guardian of the royal crown, papal possession and the embassy and the residence of the Croatian Bans.

As an eternal crossroads, Vrana has always been worth fighting for. Even today, the knights of Vrana will not let it be forgotten.

The knights of Vrana perform at all great revivals of history and knightly tournaments in the Republic of Croatia: Klis, Knin, Karlovac, St. Helena, Orahovica, Koprivnica, Stubica, Šibenik, Vrana and others. They also received their first calls for performances abroad.

For many years they have been successfully participating in the organization of the historical spectacle - Days of the Knights of Vrana, to the satisfaction of the domestic and foreign audience.
