Fabulous visit!
The Knin fortress is one of the largest and oldest European fortresses. The oldest part of the fortress, Kaštel Knin, was built in the second half of the 9th century. Over the centuries, it was conquered, destroyed and built by Hungarians, Turks, Venetians, French and Austrians.

A rambling fortress high over Knin.
We visited here today, parking up at the Venetian Gate entrance as it is off season. With no one around, we enjoyed free access to the limit of how many stairs we wanted to climb. It's a rambling affair with many great viewpoints along the walls to the city below. All buildings had information signs in English and additional maps and descriptions were provided. The honored 65' Croatian flag of Independence is mounted in the center
