Having a sea bath in late October... Priceless. Old Kaštel Novi town, boardwalk, and Kula (Cipico castle/fortress).

And this is where Croatian politics failed the test. With a crazy act, they stopped one of the tourist pearls of Donji Kaštela. Today it was supposed to be a hotel that employs about thirty workers, it would have breathed life into that part of Kaštel Novi, but now it is falling apart. This is the best image of the Croatian government.

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
