Potravlje Fortress

The hill itself on which the medieval fortress was built is an easily defensible position protected by deep and steep ravines that descend from the Svilaja.

Given its strategic location, a hillfort was built there during prehistoric times, traces of which - the remains of a dry-stone rampart or embankment - can be seen on the eastern slope of the hill.

On the very hill where the medieval fortress stands, traces of a late antique fortification and settlement with a large church and cemetery at the foot were also found at the Grudine site.

The medieval fortress was first mentioned in 1372 as part of the estate of the noble Nelipić family.

The arrows are associated with numerous deliveries of weapons, military equipment, and warriors sent by coastal towns to the princes of the Nelipić house during the 14th and early 15th centuries.
