Fortress Fortica is located on the Dinara mountain above Omish. It was built in the 15th century. The fortress offers a beautiful view of the surrounding islands of Brach, Hvar and Sholta and the canyon of the river Cetina. This position was very important for piracy, as a large area could be controlled from one place. Fortica also had a defensive role. In the event that Omish was surrounded, boulders would be thrown from the fortress that would destroy the enemy, but would also destroy the city. Fortunately, that did not happen. The fortress can be reached by a maintained path, and it takes about an hour to walk.
