Frankopan Castle
Krk, Croatia
Frankopan Castle in Krk, Croatia, is a medieval fortress built beginning in the 12th century by the influential Frankopan noble family who ruled the island. It combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural features, with its oldest part being a square tower originally serving as a bell tower for the nearby cathedral.
The castle evolved over centuries with additions including round towers designed for defense against firearms in the late 15th or early 16th century. Positioned strategically on a hill, it overlooks the Adriatic Sea and the town of Krk, serving both as a stronghold and administrative center.
