Spanning over 20,000 square meters, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape — from the mighty Dinara mountain to the valley where rivers Krka and Butižnica meet.
Dating back to the 9th century, the fortress was once the seat of Croatian kings, including King Dmitar Zvonimir.
