- Notes
- Sinj Castle, locally known as Utvrda or Tvrđava Sinj, and sometimes as Stari Grad Sinj, lies above the town of the same name, in the county of Split-Dalmatia in Croatia. The castle stayed under Ottoman rule until 1686, when it was conquered by the Venetians. In 1808 Sinj Castle was finally abandoned after it had been mined by French troops in retaliation for a local rebellion. Its ruinous remains were finished by the 1898 Trilj Earthquake.
