Until 1930, Pirovac was called Zlosela, which was first mentioned in 1298 in documents regarding the founding of the Šibenik diocese. Due to the growing threat from the Turks after the fall of Bosnia in 1463, Petar Draganić, a commander of the Venetian fleet in Šibenik and owner of the land where Pirovac stands today, took action.

He filled in a small island off the coast—the site of today's old town center—and built a fortress with ramparts, a church, a parish house, and homes for his tenants. The Turks conquered Zlosela twice, but the fortress itself remained unconquered until the Turks left Dalmatia.
