Medieval fortress located 70 km from Split, Croatia. Fortress was built in the second half of the 15th century for defense under Turkish invasion. The fortress is a triangular ground floor, with two roundabouts in the northwest and northeastern corner. Within the fortress there were crews and commander’s houses, a churchyard, a water tank, and a gun store in a barracks. The Turks conquered around 1500 and further determined the construction of the Avale and Poletnica towers east of the fort. During the 17th century, the fortress often crosses the Christian in the Turkish hand and vice versa. Then a wooden pallet was raised around the lower part of the wall. There was also a small guest haven on the south side. It was liberated by the Turkish authorities in 1684 and soon lost its importance. The fortress has been renewed since 2004. The model is a result of systematic archaeological excavations carried out in 2017. by an archaeological company Kaukal d.o.o.
