What people say
Pedro Pereira
Available for hire
"Dominating the skyline above Omiš, Mirabela Fortress, also known as Peovica, stands as a sentinel of the town's storied past. Constructed in the 13th century by the powerful Kačić family, this Romanesque fortress played a crucial role in Omiš's history as a pirate stronghold. Its strategic position offered a commanding view of the Adriatic Sea, allowing the pirates to spot approaching ships and plan their raids.
The fortress served as a refuge for the Omiš pirates when their daring exploits turned into perilous situations. Its sturdy walls and strategic location provided a safe haven from enemy attacks. While the fortress has seen better days, its remnants still evoke the spirit of those fearless seafarers who once called Omiš home. Today, visitors can climb the steep path to the fortress for breathtaking panoramic views of the town, the Cetina River, and the Adriatic Sea.
