Kaštelina Tower

Kaštelina Tower, locally known as Kula Kaštelina or Kaštel Zaton, stands in the village of Zaton, in the county of Zadar in Croatia.
During the 16th century, the area was under the control of the Republic of Venice and faced growing threats from Turkish invasions. The Venetians built three towers around the town of Nin to defend against Turkish aggression. One of these towers, according to a plaque above the entrance, was constructed by Hanibal Cirysagus in 1593. It is a square tower with three floors.
Kaštelina Tower is freely accessible. It is hidden behind several residences, so it is not in a very nice location, but it remains a nice tower.
