Susedgrad

As written on billboard near Susedgrad ruins, the fortress overwatched an important crossroad at Krapina-Sava confluence, and therefore enabled control over nearby landways and waterways.

Nearby quarries are also believed to exist since antiquity, supplying stone for building forts and churches in the surrounding area.
