Kastel Stari

Kaštel Stari straddles the narrow coastal plain between Kaštela Bay and the lower slopes of Mount Kozjak in Split-Dalmatia County, a position that has turned it toward the Adriatic while keeping the inland foothills close at hand. It is one of the seven Kaštela settlements, whose identity grew from fortified residences erected along this shore by local nobles and church authorities during the 15th and 16th centuries, when Ottoman raids threatened the coast. The old centre retains the compact scale of a community formed around such a stronghold, while the bay connects it with Split and Trogir.
