Tureta Fortress

Fortress Tureta is a late antique square fortress on the island of Kornati. It is positioned on a hill, so navigation through the entire Kornati Channel could be monitored from it. It is the only preserved fortress from that time in the entire Adriatic, probably because it is outside the settlement, so the material was not used for the construction of other buildings over the centuries. Today it is in a state of neglect. Below it is the church of St. Mary, built probably at the same time as the fort.

The fortress was built to ensure marine traffic is controlled. A good fortress I like.

We went swimming downhill and went hiking uphill with my friends and it was amazing. The view of the landscape at the top of the hill is beautiful.

This historic fortress is quite ancient. I was really pleased to see its surrounding. The blue ocean was just nice to see. Trekking to the fortress was epic.
