Stari grad

The stone fortress stands on a natural elevation at 402 meters, featuring walls that extend across the hilltop above the modern town of Sinj.

First documented as Castrum Fsini in 1341, the fortress served as a residence for Croatian nobles until Ottoman forces captured it in 1516.

The central fortress area contains a votive church dedicated to Our Lady, constructed in 1887 as a testament to local religious traditions.

The restoration of the fortress walls, which began in 2004, allows visitors to explore the medieval military architecture through preserved structures.

Archaeological research reveals continuous human presence at this location from the Copper Age, spanning over 5000 years of settlement.
