Frankopan Castle (Kaštel), Krk Town

Seat of the Frankopan counts on Kamplin Square next to the cathedral. The square 'courtroom' tower carries a 1191 inscription and the round Venetian tower holds a short exhibition on the town's history from the Liburnians onward; a wall walk links three towers with harbour views.

Our tips

• On the ground floor of the square tower, look for the 4th-century stone that is the oldest monument naming the town of Krk.
• Family ticket (2 adults + 2 or more children) is EUR 15 (2026), cheaper than four singles.
• In 2026 the Lovrečeva fair (8–10 August) included a free English storytelling walk, 'Od krša do zlata', with castle entry, booked through the town tourist board.

Good to know

• Closed on Sundays.
• Short visit (45–60 min); walls exposed to sun at midday.
• Closed in winter (October to March in 2025–26).
