The fortress was had a regular hexagon design with triangular bastions which together form a six pointed star. Parts of this fortified settlement can be still seen in the centre of the old part of town.

These beautiful clean rivers, the Kupa, Korana, Mrežnica and Dobra attract many tourists. The rivers and their tributaries offer many opportunities for sport and recreation, hunting and fishing and many other activities.
