Frankopan Castle

Frankopan Castle closes the seaward side of Kamplin Square and makes Krk town’s defensive history visible. Its towers and walls developed over different periods, reflected in their shapes and masonry. Compare the square tower with the round tower facing the square rather than reading the whole complex as one uniform castle. Part of the ramparts is arranged for visits, and the position above the sea helps explain the importance of this defensive point. Combine the castle and cathedral in one walk, allowing time between them on Kamplin. From the square, the contrast between military and religious buildings becomes especially clear before you continue towards the waterfront.
