Šturlić Fortress
The heritage institute records Šturlić in 1459, associated with its namesake noble family. An Ottoman garrison occupied the restored fort in 1670. A field visit documents the surviving tower converted into a mosque beside a round platform and low courtyard walls. These later uses are part of the site’s visible history.
