Nutjak Fortress

This is Nutjak Fortress, positioned on a cliff above the Cetina River near the town of Trilj.

The fortress was constructed in the late 15th century by the nobleman Žarko Dražojević, and it reflects strategic efforts to protect the region against constant threats.

After Dražojević's death in 1508, the fortress eventually fell around 1513, signaling a shift in control due to geopolitical changes. As military strategies evolved, Nutjak's significance diminished.

Today, the ruins of Nutjak Fortress, dominated by a large circular tower and remnants of living quarters, highlight its historical importance.

Archaeological findings suggest its site was significant even in prehistoric times, making Nutjak a symbol of regional resilience and a testament to the complex history of Croatia's defenses against various enemies.
