Sokograd Fortress
The Šipovo tourism organisation describes Sokograd as a stronghold on the cliff above the Sokočnica, a tributary of the Pliva. A tower and small court developed into Upper and Lower Town. The site is associated with the defense against the Hungarian army in 1363. Its surviving layers show repeated strengthening; legends about its founding are distinct from documented military history.
