The Nehaj Fortress – Construction and Typification

Karlo Rukavina

Abstract

This paper analyzes the reasons behind the construction of the Nehaj fortress and the fortress’ type. The primary goal is to investigate why the fort was built and what the direct reason was for its construction by analyzing Ivan Lenković’s report from 1550. In addition, the paper analyzes the type of the fort with the help of several analytical units (Purpose of the fort, Volume characteristics of the fort and Firepower of the fort). Through a castellological approach, or by analyzing historical- defensive-fortification elements, as well as chronological-historical elements, we will typify the Nehaj fortress with regard to other fortifications of that time and present its specifics.
