Perched above Hvar’s port, the Spanish Fortress, or Tvrdava Fortica, stands as a testament to the island’s rich history. The current structure dates back to the 16th century, though its strategic importance has roots in earlier times. Built on a hill, the fortress offers panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea, stretching far into the horizon. Today, visitors can explore the site and take in the expansive vistas, making it a significant landmark of Hvar.
