Why it is worth your time
Climb the stone steps to the pirate's nest from which the corsairs of Omiš watched over the Adriatic. From the top of the tower the view opens over red rooftops, the mouth of the Cetina and the open sea towards the islands. It is easy to picture a lookout lighting a fire the moment a foreign ship broke the horizon.
