Starigrad Fortress (Fortica)
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). 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.[citation needed]
