Cetin Castle, Castle ruin in Podcetin, Croatia
The stone fortress stands at an elevation of 245 meters above sea level, overlooking the surrounding landscape south of Cetingrad municipality.
In 1527, Croatian nobles gathered at Cetin Castle to elect Ferdinand I Habsburg as their king, marking Croatia's entry into the Habsburg Monarchy.
The medieval complex included multiple churches and a Franciscan monastery dedicated to Saint Mary, reflecting regional religious traditions.
Located 5 kilometers south of Cetingrad, the ruins can be accessed through local roads leading to the village of Podcetin.
Two stone plates with Ottoman Turkish inscriptions, now preserved in the Croatian History Museum, document renovations during the Turkish occupation period.
