Riviera Kaštela: Exploring the Historical Tales and Natural Beauty

An unbroken line of seven towns, clustered around old towers, or castles (the local word for which is kaštel) welcomes visitors with the historical tales of the Kaštela Riviera. In the summer nights, the stages of Kaštela host traditional Dalmatian music and tell the tale of their own local Romeo and Juliet. Kaštela Riviera shows off its past in the shape of an impressive sequence of sixteen fortifications equipped with rotating bridges. Along these old strongholds, the seven towns which were once separate - Sućurac, Gomilica, Kambelovac, Lukšić, Stari, Novi, and Štafilić are nowadays jointly called the City of Kaštela.
