Kaštel Novi is a town within the administrative area of Kaštela in Dalmatia, Croatia.

[4] The Fortified village of Cippico-after the fall of Bosnia in 1463, Dalmatia, which was at the time part of the Venetian Republic, faced danger from the Ottoman invaders.

The village was fortified by a defensive wall on the east, north and west with towers on the northeastern and northwestern corners.

The fortified village had one exit-the northern gate that was accessed over the stone bridge onto which a drawbridge was lowered.

Following the end of the dangers, the village spread outside of the walls, the area in front of the citadel was filled in which is how 'Brce' developed, an urban type village square with a baroque monumental building of the Fraternity of St Peter built in the 18th century.
