Tvrdalj Castle (Croatian: Gradina Tvrdalj) is a castle in Stari Grad, on the island of Hvar, Croatia.
Tvrdalj was the summer residence of Petar Hektorović, the Croatian poet (1487–1572). During the 16th century, the island of Hvar came under attack from the Ottoman Turks. Hektorović, one of the local nobles, undertook to fortify his house so that it could act as shelter for the local citizens.
If you are visiting Banja Luka you shouldn't miss this amazing place.

Interesting site; the reflection pool is the highlight.

Looks really good and blends in the style of Stari Grad. The town itself is really nice to hang around..

Perfect destination to stretch your legs in the afternoon. After you arrive to the top you will be awarded with a great view from the top of the castle.

Just like 20 years ago when I was there as a kid. Place is beautiful, but badly maintained. Garden is a real mess, more like a hideout for uncle Ho. The only thing which is interesting and "is working" is pool with fish. There is entrance fee 15kn per person and you get a cheap photocopy of text explaining history of this place. As i said, nice small place a must see when you visit Stari Grad, but in bad shape. I am wondering how is that possible.

Interesting place. Hike up is more fun than the actual fortress. View is pretty amazing.

The inner courtyard with the pond is nice, but the garden is not well maintained. Very small, with access only to the yard, not the building itself.

Nice historical building in Stari Grad. Has a small shaded garden and the fish pool was amazing.
