Vitturi Castle

Vitturi Castle is a fortified residence near Kaštela that features a main building with two defense towers joined by thick stone walls. The structure faces the Adriatic Sea along the coastal shoreline.

The Vitturi family from Trogir built this fortification at the end of the 15th century to shield local villagers from Ottoman attacks. Major renovations took place in the 18th century when the building was updated.

The castle now functions as a cultural center where changing exhibitions fill its rooms. You can attend concerts and performances here throughout the year.

The castle is accessible year-round and offers guided tours explaining the architecture and its history. Plan your visit on a clear day to enjoy the views of the Adriatic Sea from the fortification.

A stone bridge now connects the castle to the mainland, replacing the original wooden drawbridge that existed in the 18th century. This change shows how the fortification's defensive needs evolved over time.
