The Castle of Nehaj dates from the 16th century and is located in Senj on the coast of Kvarner. The castle was build by an Uskok-Captain called Ivan Lenkovic on a hill with views across the sea so approaching ships could be seen in time, to fight the Ottoman Turks. The castle is square shaped with 2-3 m thick walls, has five towers and 11 canon openings. The castle houses a museum on the first floor and is host to a yearly medieval festival that takes place for three days in the month of July.
