Ivan Meštrović (1883-1962) was a sculptor, painter, architect and writer, and is one of the most valued Croatian artists from the first half of the 20th century. He was born and raised in Otavice near Drniš. He lived and worked in numerous international centers, such as Paris, Cannes, Zagreb, Belgrade, Rome, Geneva and Lausanne. Meštrović’s art works are exhibited all over Croatia and worldwide. He dedicated and then donated a substantial part of his work to his homeland. Near Otavice he designed and had built The Most Holly Redeemer’s Church, (his family tomb), and he also designed the school building and the public healthcare facility in Otavice. Substantial number of his art works can also be seen in Drniš. 

Drniš City Museum is situated on the town entrance, near the bridge over Čikola river. Apart from the collection of Ivan Meštrović’s art works which holds about 50 exhibits, the Museum also exhibits archeological, cultural and historical collections, a collection of old photographs and postcards, maps and prints, a collection of weapons and military equipment, a numismatic collection, a collection of medals and decorations, and a contemporary art collection. Not far from the Museum building, at the entrance to the Čikola river canyon is the Old Mill from 15th century. The Old Mill once had five mills in operation, but it was abandoned at the beginning of 17th century.

Along Krka and Čikola canyons, as well as in Drniš, the remains of several majestic forts and fortifications can be visited. Although some were built earlier, all forts are considered a part of the medieval defense system, built and owned by Croatian aristocratic families Nelipić, Šubić and others. The system of medieval fortifications Ključica, Kamičak, Bogočin, Nečven and Trošenj is considered to be one of the largest and most significant historical defense structures in Croatia.
