Saint Michael's Fortress in Sibenik, Croatia
St. Michael's Fortress (formerly known as St. Anne's Fortress) is a medieval fort in Sibenik, Sibenik-Knin County, Croatia, situated on a steep hill above the old historic center of the city. Its strategically favorable and dominant position made it the central part of Šibenik fortification system. The location was more or less continuously occupied since the Iron Age, as is witnessed by numerous archaeological findings from the era. The city of Sibenik was first mentioned on 25 December 1066 in a charter signed by King Peter Kresimir IV and verified by his courtiers. It is widely considered that the signing took place at St. Michael's Fortress.
