Abstract
Sacral buildings were an integral part of the fortresses, sometimes built on the ruins of older churches and monasteries in the early modern Eastern Adriatic, retaining their titles. Considering that there is a representative number of fortresses of high architectural value, the main focus is on the fortress churches and chapels of Šibenik and Split, which are studied based on field, archival, and archaeological research.
