Why it is worth your time

The star-shaped fort was raised by the French in the early 19th century atop Lokrum. Its round terrace gives a wide view over the old town, the sea and the surrounding islands.

Croatia Atlas tip

Take an early boat to Lokrum and pair the fort with a swim in the island's Dead Sea lake.
