Bijela Stijena Fortress
Bijela Stijena combines an older enclosure and an eastern artillery addition dated to 1771. The heritage account documents contrasting wall thicknesses and differently shaped corner platforms. The former settlement of Stina appears in records from 1330, although that reference does not prove that its castle already existed.

The earlier court has thinner walls and a quadrangular southwestern projection. The two phases are visibly different.
