Hreljin Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Vinodol region, Croatia
Hreljin Castle stands on a hilltop at 321 meters elevation, constructed from stone blocks with towers and gates overlooking Bakar Bay.
The castle became part of the Frankopan noble estate in 1225 when King Andrew II granted them control of the territory.
The fortress represents one of nine settlements that signed the Vinodol Codex in 1288, an early Croatian legal document.
The ruins remain accessible for exploration, requiring sturdy footwear to navigate the stone pathways and elevated terrain.
Three priests were the final inhabitants of this strategic fortification before its abandonment in 1790.
