Abstract

The 17th century fortification of Split comprised the fortification of the city centre and two separate defence structures: the Bačvice Fortress in the eastern part of the city port and the Gripe Fortress situated on a hill east of the centre. The Gripe Fortress was built in five stages from 1647 to 1682 and it has been well preserved to the present day. Its location enabled the supervision of the access to Split due to which it was crucial for its defence.
