Kaštel Gomilica, Historic settlement in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia
Kaštel Gomilica is a settlement along the Adriatic coast with traditional stone buildings and a medieval fortress surrounded by modern residential areas. The structures follow the shoreline and create a mix of older and newer construction.
The settlement developed in the 16th century around a defensive structure built to protect inhabitants from invasions. This strategic coastal position allowed it to ward off threats from the sea and safeguard the local community.
The stone buildings here served as a filming location for Game of Thrones, where they represented the city of Braavos. This connection brings visitors interested in the show's production to walk through the same streets.
The place offers easy access to beaches and water activities along the shoreline. Visitors can walk through the coastal areas and find various accommodation options in vacation rentals and small guesthouses.
The fortress features original sea gates in its southern wall that connected the medieval structure directly to the Adriatic waters. These rare openings allowed residents to quickly reach boats during attacks.
