Grižane Castle

Grižane Castle (Croatian: Gradina Grižane) is a ruined castle and site near Grižane in Vinodol, in the northern part of the Adriatic coast, western Croatia. The castle of Grižane had an odd, rectangular form with circular towers, and this irregularity was caused by the peculiar structure of the field.
