Sisak Fortress

The triangular fortress features three round towers connected by thick walls spanning 30 meters, with strategic loopholes positioned along the perimeter.

Built between 1544 and 1550 by Petar de Mediolanus, the fortress played a central role in the 1593 battle against Ottoman forces at the confluence of rivers.

The fortress contains the Sisak Town Museum, established in 1951, presenting collections of archaeological artifacts, ethnological items, and regional historical exhibits.

Visitors can access the fortress grounds throughout the year, with guided tours available to explore the defensive structures and museum collections.

The fortress walls incorporate both brick and hewn stone elements, demonstrating the architectural techniques of 16th-century military construction methods.
