VELIKI KAŠTEL INTERPRETATION CENTER

The Veliki Kaštel, built against the cliffs of the Biokovo massif, is a multi-story fortification adaptation of a cave constructed during the Cretan War (1645–1669), serving as a refuge for the local population. After restoration and reconstruction, it has housed an exhibition Interpretive Center since 2019, managed by the City Museum of Makarska. The center serves as the main venue for interpreting and presenting the cultural and natural heritage of Kotišina through three exhibition themes: archaeological, ethnological, and natural heritage.
