Kaštel Lukšić

Croatia / Split-Dalmatia / Kaštel Lukšić

Kaštel Lukšić is the central and largest of the Kaštels and is situated on the boundary of the former Trogir and Split properties. It got its name from the Lukšić property. In the past it was known as Kaštel Vitturi after the Trogir noble family who built it at the end of the 15th century. In 1487, Trogir's count, Carlo Pesaro, issued permission to Nikola and Jerolim Vetturi to build a facility with towers, trenches and all the other necessary facilities, in Velo polje, either beside the sea or in the sea itself. They built a castle – fortress that consists of a two-floor building to the south and a two three-floor tower to the north with a courtyard between them.
