Greben Fortress

Greben occupies the hills above Krupa na Vrbasu. The regional tourism organisation records its first mention in 1192 and associates it with the Hrvatinić family in the fourteenth century. Surviving remains include a tower and walls descending the slopes. This is a distinct site from Zvečaj farther north.

Architecture & evidence

Tower above the canyon

The regional tourism organisation identifies the tower above the Vrbas as one of Greben's better-preserved elements. Its reduced open shell is shown here with estimated dimensions.

Broken wall return

Fragmented masonry around the tower indicates an archaeological ruin, rather than a complete surviving enclosure.

Descending wall fragments

The account describes a wall descending toward the river canyon. This study keeps it discontinuous and low; lost connecting sections are omitted.

Plan your visit

Check the approach locally; the atlas pin locates the ruins rather than a verified visitor entrance.
