Why it is worth your time
This fortress watches over Šibenik from its hillside, a reminder of the days when the city had to be defended from above. From its walls the old town, the channel and the islands beyond spread out below you. The climb is rewarded with one of the widest views in the whole city, especially as the light softens toward evening.
