March 6, 2024· 2:11

Fortress Fortica (Starigrad) is strategically perched above the charming town of Omiš, offering one of the most rewarding panoramas in all of Croatia. Built in the 15th century as a shelter and defense against the Ottoman Turks, this small but mighty fortress stands as one of the most impressive fortifications along the entire Adriatic coast.

Located on dramatic cliffs high above the stunning Cetina canyon and the town below, Fortica sits on the extreme western branch of the Omiš Dinara. Historians believe the fort was constructed on the site of a prehistoric hillfort and an ancient fortress, adding layers of history to every stone.
