AI overview
I cannot write an accurate overview based solely on this context, as it only shows a photo caption identifying a statue of Marko Marulić in Knin, without information about what Knin is or why it matters. To provide the 2-sentence overview you requested, I would need to invent facts, which violates your instruction to base the response only on the provided context.

Knin () is a city in the Šibenik-Knin County of Croatia, located in the Dalmatian hinterland near the source of the river Krka, an important traffic junction on the rail and road routes between Zagreb and Split. Knin rose to prominence twice in history, as the capital of both the medieval Kingdom of Croatia and briefly of the self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina within the newly independent Republic of Croatia for the duration of the Croatian War of Independence from 1991 to 1995.
