Fortifications and Castles in Croatia

June 1, 2010 by Baburek

Just as any other part of Europe, Croatia has a lot of fortifications and castles crisscrossing the country, from the north to the south, from the east to the west.

Some of them may be integrated in today’s urban areas, some can be found on the outskirts of towns, cities or villages, on the near by hills or overlooking canyons or valleys, while a number of fortifications or ruins of old forts is found on more or less remote locations where time is working against them.

This page and following pages are an intro to a few castles or fortifications in Croatia that are still standing, but it’s also an intro to those that are only ruins of once magnificent castles.

Featured Fortifications and Castles in Croatia

Featured medieval castles and fortifications stretch from the northern part of Croatia called Zagorje, through capital city of Zagreb and all the way to south of Dalmatia and fortified city of Dubrovnik.

Trakoscan

Well preserved Castle Trakoscan (Trakošćan) was built in the 13th century and it is located in the Zagorje region of Croatia.

    you’ve got some great pictures of some fascinating castles . I’ve never heard of any of them . Do you have some of these pictures on Flickr ? I run a castle pictures group and it would be great if you wanted to add them to it .
