Built between 1424 and 1437 by the Venetians to defend Trogir from Turkish invasions, it is a perfect example of Renaissance military architecture. Today it is an iconic symbol of the city, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offering impressive views of the Adriatic Sea.

What is the best time to visit Kamerlengo Fortress?

The best time is at sunset in summer (June to September) for magical sea views and fewer crowds. Avoid midday in July and August because of the heat; spring or autumn are ideal for mild weather and fewer tourists.
