About
Starigrad Fortress (Fortica) is a 15th‑century stone stronghold perched 262 m above the town of Omiš, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Built during the Croatian–Ottoman wars, its imposing walls, bastion, and barbican forged a formidable defense that still dominates the landscape. Visitors can explore the two‑storey keep, walk the ancient battlements, and enjoy sweeping vistas of the Dalmatian coast.
