Gvozdansko, Medieval settlement in Sisak-Moslavina County, Croatia
Gvozdansko sits near the Una River, surrounded by forested hills and features a rectangular fortress with four corner towers and stone walls.
The fortress endured a prolonged siege from October 1577 to January 1578, when 300 Croatian defenders faced over 5000 Ottoman soldiers in winter conditions.
The Zrinski noble family operated silver mines near Gvozdansko during the 16th century, establishing a mint for producing coins from local precious metals.
The settlement contains remnants of medieval fortifications, accessible through marked pathways that connect to regional hiking routes in Sisak-Moslavina County.
The fortress defenders maintained their position until the last person, leading Ottoman forces to arrange proper military burials out of respect for their determination.
