Lika-Senj County's landscape is defined by its strategic military history, featuring a network of defensive structures spanning from the Roman era to the 16th century. Key sites include the 1558 Nehaj Tower, a symbol of the Uskok resistance, and the Frankopan noble seat of Sokolac. The list covers coastal ruins like Fortica in Karlobag and inland strongholds like the recently restored Drežnik Old Town, alongside archaeological remains of the Roman city of Cissa. These ruins mark former borders between the Habsburg Monarchy, the Ottoman Empire, and the Venetian Republic.
