Dvorac Tvrdalj, koji je bio ljetna rezidencija pjesnika Petra Hektorovića iz 16. stoljeća, fascinantna je kombinacija intimnog prebivališta i zamka, umotan u prekrasnu renesansnu zgradu. Prostor je trebao služiti kao mirno mjesto za sva bića. Dvorac Tvrdalj nekada je bio ljetna rezidencija pjesnika iz 16. stoljeća Petra Hektorovića, koji bi u toplijim mjesecima boravio u svojoj palači i uživao u hladnom povjetarcu s mora. Kao umjetnik inspiraciju je pronalazio oko Starog grada, a njegova poezija o ribarima i lokalnoj zemlji učinila ga je legendarnim.

Iako je umjetnost bila njegova strast, fokus je preusmjerio na rat kada je otok Hvar bio napadnut od Osmanskih Turaka. Odlučio je utvrditi svoju kuću i pretvoriti je u dvorac kako bi ga lokalni stanovnici mogli koristiti kao sklonište.

Kada ga posjetite danas, pronaći ćete zanimljivu kombinaciju ova dva elementa, zamotana u prekrasnu renesansnu zgradu.

Fascinating place to travel to with amazing weather conditions that is conducive. Beautiful fortress that has an awesome history that is catchy. The fish pool outside is not only attractive but also it is an inspiration to the artists and painters that have used it in several occasions. The fort has some beautiful architectural buildings which look appealing to the human eye and has a great captivating view. the fortress is also interesting a walk around would lead to some interesting places to see and enjoy.

Serene environment for the a quiet stay and we loved spending time at the fortress. The building was beautiful and the castle was great for a peaceful stay. The style of the building was unique and we could not get out of the place without taking some fantastic pictures for the memories and posting on our socials.

This fortress is a must visit. I loved its ancient architectural structure and design. It is a magnificent fortress. Walking through it was quite lovely. I enjoyed sitting by the pond and feeding the fish as I watched them swim. This fortress is a historical monument in this region and is still in perfect condition.

I loved the architectural buildings that are on top of the water. The fish spots and fish ponds offered a great a spot for us to chill as we enjoyed the glimpse of different fish species. Inside of the castle was so cool, i would visit the castle during the evening to calm down my mind. Reading aloud the poems about the fishermen and the local country were heartwarming. Ideal for poets and poetry lovers.

The Fortress is a combination of the castle and twin residence. What i loved most about the building is how its built making it easy to track an enemy. Our tour here was very informative, we learn of the great history of the castle of why it was built and how it was turned into a castle. While inside, there is a cool breeze from the sea which is so relaxing. Will definitely come back .
