Nečven

Fort Nečven or Nečven City is a medieval Croatian fortress from the 14th century, and one of the most important fortified buildings in Croatia in terms of size and degree of preservation. It is on the west side of Promina mountain, on the edge of the high cliffs of river Krka, 3 kilometres south of Miljacka Falls, where the Krka National Park begins, by the eponymous village.

Nečven originates, according to the 19th-century historian Grgur Urlić-Ivanović who first described the remains, in the 9th century, and was named, according to legend, after a beautiful girl from the area that rejected all violence from the Bribirers and eventually poisoned herself to avoid capture. The story probably symbolizes the hostility between the Šubić's Trošenj-Čučevo and Nelipić's Nečven.The fort and its associated yard cover a square kilometer. It used to be surrounded by high walls made of small, poorly assembled stones combined with lime.
