Tvrđava sv. Mihovila, Zagrađe, Šibenik, Hrvatska

Tourism, Heritage Sites, Museums and Cities

The fortress is located on a strategically extremely favourable position, halfway between the antique centres Zadar and Split, in the protected mouth of the Krka river and near all of the important transportation roads in Dalmatia. St. Michael’s Fortress is of paramount importance for the history and urban development of Šibenik. It was originally built as a lookout of the Šibenik bay and the mouth of the Krka river, and as a refuge for the surrounding population. During the medieval times, the fortress became a source point of the defence fortification system of walls and fortresses of Šibenik. The fortress owes its name to the Church of St. Michael, which was located within its walls since the 12th century. The church has not been preserved, but the fortress kept the name of the saint, who became the patron of Šibenik very early.
