Rupotine is an archeological site near Solin, Croatia, which is believed by Croatian archaeologists to be the site of medieval Rižinice monastery. It is considered one of the most significant early medieval Croatian archeological sites due to the inscription of duke Trpimir "PRO DUCE TREPIME(ro)" which was found here.
