Kaštel Kambelovac is a town within the administrative area of Kaštela in Dalmatia, Croatia.
It has over 40 000 inhabitants, and it is the second largest town in the Split and Dalmatia County and occupies a 17 kilometer shoreline.
Although legally considered a single town (grad), Kaštela is traditionally divided between seven distinguished settlements all of which are centered on either a fort or castle: Kaštel Kambelovac was built by the aristocratic family Cambi from Split (1589).
[4] In 1517 noblemen and landowners from Split, brothers Jerolim and Nikola Cambi, built a castle on an islet to protect themselves and residents of Lažan and Kruševik settlements.
[5] The citadel was surrounded by the sea but was later connected with the mainland by filling up and levelling.
