It was built on inaccessible terrain, at the top of a cliff, so that it can be reached only through a narrow passage carved into the rock. It merges visually into the surrounding ambient. Only the remains are preserved of a semicircular rampart on the east and a rectangular tower on the southwestern side of the fortress.<\/p>\n<p>Kami\u010dak was mentioned in historical sources for the first time in 1345, in a document of the Croatian-Hungarian King Louis. It is confirmed in it that the fortress was the inheritance of Ivani\u0161 Nelipi\u0107, who had been granted it because of merit by King Bela IV. Ivani\u0161 Nelipi\u0107, the lord of Kami\u010dak, Ne\u010dven, and Klju\u010dica, the last descendant of the Nelipi\u0107 family, concluded a peace with Venice in 1421. As he did not have a male heir, he adopted his son-in-law An\u017e (Ivan) Frankopan and handed over the castle as his inheritance, but this inheritance was not recognized later by the Croatian-Hungarian King Sigismund of Luxemburg. From 1445, Kami\u010dak was in the possession of Grgur Utje\u0161inovi\u0107, who gave the island of Visovac to the Franciscans of the Province of Bosna Srebrna. Cardinal Juraj Utje\u0161inovi\u0107 was born at Kami\u010dak in 1482, so Kami\u010dak is also called Utje\u0161inovi\u0107 Castle. A settlement of the same name was probably located below the fortress. Fr. Petar Ba\u010di\u0107 mentioned that below Kami\u010dak up to 1928 there were the remains of a church that the locals destroyed while clearing the land for vineyards.<\/p>\n<p>When the Ottomans occupied this entire area, Kami\u010dak lost its importance and has been abandoned ever since. The Turks probably conquered it, like the other settlements of the hinterland of \u0160ibenik, in 1522.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fotorama rounded-lg  shadow lblue-bg mt-5\" data-width=\"100%\" data-ratio=\"16\/10\"  data-nav=\"thumbs\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-arrows=\"true\" data-transition=\"crossfade\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kamicak-9-1-scaled.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kamicak-4-scaled.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kamicak-6-scaled.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kamicak-2-scaled.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kamicak-3-scaled.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kamicak-7-scaled.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kamicak-8-scaled.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kamicak-5-scaled.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kamicak-10-scaled.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/div><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The famous Kami\u010dak, built on a cliff above the Krka, resembles an eagle\u2019s nest: it is thought that Petar Sva\u010di\u0107, the last Croatian king, was born there. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2209,"parent":182,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-location.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1020","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1020"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1020\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/182"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/npkrka.hr\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
