Fortress Fortica or Starigrad is strategically located above the city. It was built in the 15th century, primarily as a shelter and for defense against the Turks. Although a small Omiš fortress, it’s one of the most impressive fortifications on the Adriatic coast. It is located on the cliffs high above the Cetina canyon and the town itself on the extreme western branch of the Omiš Dinara. The fort was built probably on the site of a prehistoric hillfort and an ancient fortress. The reward for climbing to Fortica is one of the best amazing views that you can get in Croatia. There are 2 ways: hard and easy. Easy is a 30-45 min walk uphill, while hard is more challenging and is not suitable for kids. Entrance free of charge.
