Kaštela is a municipality located between Trogir and Split. In
the 15th and 16th centuries, 13 forts were built along the 16km
long coastline to repel the Turkish attacks. Around the forts were
built settlements, which today became the municipality of
Kaštela.
Of the 13 forts, 7 are preserved: Kaštel Štafilić, Kaštel Novi,
Kaštel Stari, Kaštel Lukšić, Kaštel Kambelovac, Kaštel Gomilica,
Kaštel Sućurac.
All forts have a small harbor or jetty and are definitely worth a
dinghy excursion.
The coast is well protected by the Kozjak Mountains, and fruit,
olives, wine and vegetables grow particularly well in the fields
here. Today, the coast is a tourist center and a popular excursion
destination.
