Mala Kladuša Ruins

The heritage institute identifies a 25m oval foundation and traces of a round tower. The castle appears in thirteenth-century records as Gaj. Later frontier garrisons occupied it, but today its significance lies in archaeological remains rather than standing monumental walls.

Architecture & evidence

Circular foundation

The source records an 8m-diameter round tower. Only its broken foundation is shown.

Oval circuit

The 25m-long footprint survives archaeologically. Its width and alignment here are estimates.

Missing fabric

Scattered masonry indicates loss, not a measured excavation or a reconstructed medieval interior.
