The ascent takes about an hour, and the reward is one of the most beautiful panoramic views in Dalmatia, encompassing the old town, the mouth of the Cetina river, the Adriatic Sea, and the surrounding islands. During the era of the Omiš pirates, Fortica served as the main strategic stronghold for the defense of the city.
The impressive canyon of the Cetina River begins just above Omiš and is one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Dalmatia.
