Kaštela is a town stretching over 17 kilometers of the Croatian coast between Split and Trogir, consisting of 7 smaller, charming settlements. The town of Kaštela is located on the coast of the Bay of Kaštela.

Kastilac Fort

Kaštilac – the castle of the Benedictines of Split from 1529, also called the Abbot’s Castle or later Kaštel Gomilica, is located in Kaštel Gomilica. According to some data, the Abbot’s Castle was completed around 1545.

A visit is a must for every Game of Thrones fan, since this is the shooting location for Braavos. 40 meters from the shore, Kaštilac is situated on a rock in the sea, connected to the mainland only by this stone bridge. Back in the days there was also a crenellation and a wooden defensive walkway. In the middle of the Northern wall, the defensive tower with a machiolation (a gallery protected by brackets from a vertical surface) is still complete today.

Castle Vitturi

Vitturi Castle is a 15th-century fortress in Kastel Luksic, a town in the administrative vicinity of Kastel. Vitturi Castle was built by the aristocratic Vitturi family from Trogir, in the late 15th century.

It consisted of a residential building and defensive towers and was connected to the mainland by a drawbridge. In the 18th century, the drawbridge was replaced by a stone bridge. Near the fort is a classicist park dating from the second half of the 18th century.

Biblijski vrt Stomorija

That locality, which they say is the place where spirituality and nature meet, is called the Biblical Garden. It is located in Kaštela Novi, and there you can find some really special plant species. At the end of the 20th century, the Society of the Biblical Garden of Stomorija intensively started building the biblical garden itself. At the very entrance to the Biblical Garden, we were greeted by an olive tree that was blessed by the Holy Father himself.

The members of the society first arranged the plot, planted many biblical plants on it (there are about 110 plants mentioned in the Holy Scriptures, there are supposed to be around 50 growing here right now?!), and at the same time they invited artists to place their works, sculptures, in the garden itself. The garden thus acquires a new, artistic and spiritual dimension again and again!
