Sažetak
The position of Kastril on the Premantura Cape of Kamenjak, the southernmost cape of Istria, is a nice example of an interesting position due to its control over a large surrounding territory. No archaeological excavations of any kind have been carried out on the site, but we may expect a certain continuity of use of that point, from a hillfort settlement, through an observation post from classical and late antiquity, perhaps to an early Byzantine castrum, a fortification for purposes of controlling navigation, similar to the many known along the eastern Adriatic coast. It is mentioned in the literature since the end of the 19th century, but it failed to attract any greater attention of active researchers.
