Nutjak

The stone fortress stands at 339 meters elevation on a cliff above the right bank of the Cetina River, providing views across the surrounding region.

Prince Zarko Drazojevic constructed the fortress in 1500 to protect the northern border of the Poljica Principality against Ottoman advancement into the territory.

The circular tower and remaining walls represent the medieval military architecture of Croatia, with archaeological findings revealing details about life during that period.

Visitors can reach the ruins through a marked path that branches off the Trilj-Bisko road at kilometer four, with a 15-minute uphill walk required.

The fortress earned the name 'tomb of the unfortunate' due to the harsh fate of defenders who were stationed at this remote stronghold during times of conflict.
