hussein sSeptember 23, 2018The climb is difficult, but worth it. Excellent sea views throughout the climb. A museum of shipwrecked boats is found there. Nice view of the city and ticket is valid all timeUpvote7Downvote

Rebeka KrižanováSeptember 26, 2017The town fortress rises on a hill some hundred meters above the northern, older part of Hvar town. Dating from the 16th century, it is commonly known as Fortica and Španjola.

BoSeptember 8, 2019Only a 15 minute walk/climb up through a beautiful (botanical) garden! Cacti, agaves, succulents... The view from the fort is amazing! Don’t forget to bring cash: it’s 50kn

Beautiful view of Hvar! A long and steep walk to the castle, but definitely worth it. Be sure to bring water to drink on the way though.

Evelyn BrowneSeptember 14, 2017Great views and worth going inside - also a prison you can view. We paid 40kn each though so it seems prices have gone upUpvoteDownvote
LolliesAugust 26, 2014Come at the end of the day and stay for the sunset! Breath-taking view!
UpvoteDownvote- Beth GossipApril 25, 2019It’s 50 kuna to enter the fortress and all you see are souvenir shops, a cafe, toilet and the same view as outside. It’s a lovely walk up, but not worth paying the entrance.UpvoteDownvote

- hussein sSeptember 23, 2018L'ascension est difficile, mais vaut la peine. Excellente vue sur la mer tout au long de la montée. Un musée de bateaux naufragés s'y retrouve. Belle vue sur la Ville et billet est valable en tt tempsUpvote1Downvote

Nikolay KolenchukSeptember 19, 2013Слева от дорожки в крепость, если сойти с дорожки и пройти через лесок есть заброшенная таверна, по виду напоминающая церковь
