Tržac Fortress

Tržac overlooks the meeting of the Mutnica and Korana. The heritage institute traces its ownership to the Babonići and then the Frankopans from 1323. Later Ottoman guards served under the Bihać captaincy. The remains are spread around a natural rise, with interrupted walls and open towers rather than a central keep.

Through the centuries

Medieval period

Early defensive phase represented by surviving or documented masonry.

Ottoman period

Frontier garrisons and subsequent alterations reshape the site.

Architecture & evidence

Northeastern polygonal tower

The defensive projections are open toward the court. Uneven shells indicate loss rather than complete roofed towers.

Lower northern defenses

The natural summit rises above the surrounding curtain. An interior terrain mound expresses this unusual relationship.

Unwalled southwestern slope

The steep southwestern side is left without an invented wall. Mapped river channels explain the setting below.
