Bušelića Tower stands on a high rocky outcrop on the path from Srida Sela toward Knjezovi-Ostojići, with a preserved rectangular ground floor. In the 17th century it was under the command of harambaša Grgo Bušelić, a hero from the Ottoman period. Together with Šarića Tower and Lalić Tower, it formed part of Upper Tučepi's fortification system protecting local residents from Ottoman attacks between the 15th and 17th centuries. When Turks ruled these territories, and later during Venetian rule in the 18th century, locals participated in Venetian-Ottoman conflicts.
