About Frankopanski kaštel
The Frankopanski kaštel is located in the town of Krk, by the sea and Kamplin square. The fortification includes walls and towers that reveal the historic core’s defense. Its position allows combining the visit with the town streets and the shoreline without using a car between stages.
The castle is connected to the Frankopan family and the medieval development of Krk. The visit allows you to compare the shapes of the towers and the circulation spaces along the coast. The proximity of the cathedral and the square is part of reading the urban ensemble, but each interior has its own access arrangements.
Allow time to view the structure both from the square and from the seaside. Interior visits depend on which parts of the castle are open; confirm before going. For those arriving on the island via the bridge, the stop reveals a historical aspect of Krk beyond the coves and Adriatic access points.
