Peovica
Omiš, Croatia, Croatia
Peovica, also known as Mirabella Fortress, is a 13th-century Romanesque stronghold built above the pirate town of Omiš in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia, by the Kačić family to oversee the Cetina River mouth and Adriatic approaches.
Perched on a rocky hill amid the town's medieval walls, it served as a vital lookout for Omiš's notorious seafaring raiders, who retreated into the Cetina gorge during pursuits, with legends recounting how defenders' shouts repelled a 1537 Turkish assault by feigning greater numbers.
Today, the sturdy ruins reward a short but steep 10-15 minute hike via stone stairs and a ladder with sweeping panoramic views of Omiš's old town, river, and sea, popular among history fans for a modest entry fee around 20-50 kuna.
