Cetin Castle

The fortress of Cetin is situated 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south of Cetingrad above the village of Podcetin, in Croatia. The time of the foundation of Cetin is still unknown. There are some indications that the settlement existed there in the times of the Roman Empire. Cetin played an important role in the History of Croatia. After the defeat at the Battle of Mohács in 1526 the Croatian nobility gathered at Parliament on Cetin (Cetinski Sabor). In the following centuries, Cetin was part of the Military Frontier, the borderland between the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire.
