Starigrad Fortress (Fortica)

Starigrad Fortress (Fortica) is a fortress located above town of Omiš in Split-Dalmatia county, in Dalmatia, Croatia.

The fortress was built in the 15th century,^[1] primarily for defense against Turks. Its walls follow the line of the mountain.

Had the city been taken, all of the people were to retreat to the safety of Fortica; from there they would throw down rocks, destroying the enemy forces below and the city as well. This plan never had to be implemented.
