Podvorje Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cenarius: Hi AnaD333,

Unfortunately there's been some continuing issues with this cache and there is no reaction from the owner. Since the cache no longer meets the Guidelines requirements, I am archiving it. I'm also archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you think you have legitimate reasons for lack of maintenance and want to restore the cache in the near future, please let me know as soon as possible by the email provided in my profile. The message must include the GC code and the name of the cache. If the cache meets the requirements of the Guidelines and the reasons for unarchiving are justified, I may unarchive the cache.

IMPORTANT:
In case of permanent archiving of the cache, the owners are obliged to remove everything that they have placed on the field in relation to the cache (container and all placed waypoints).

Thank you for your understanding and best regards.

Geocache Description:


En

In Kaštel Sućurac stands the oldest defensive fortress built in 1392 by A. Gvaldo the Archbishop of Split. to protect peasants from the settlement Putalj which was situated on the slopes of Kozjak, near the little church of St. Juraj. Additional building formed a settlement by the sea.

Archbishop Averaldo built his summer residence in 1488, and castle gets its final form in 1509. The oldest center of Sućurac is Kaštilac, a yard of fortified palace – villa with the south wall opened by lavishly decorated windows in High Gothic style. Unlike other villages the square is here formed on the south side of the summer residence. Today, there is the exhibition room "Podvorje" where one part of archeological artifacts from Putalj is held.

Only the bell tower remained of the parish church built in the 16th century after Allied bombing in 1943. Kaštel Sućurac was bombed on December 5 and 6, 1943 by the Allies. In the attack, a parish church from the 16th century was destroyed, resulting in the deaths of 67 locals, including the parish's priest. On December 13, another 38 were killed. In the communist Yugoslav era, the victims of the bombing were declared victims of fascism, which lasted until democratic changes in Croatia in 1990. In 2007 the town raised a monument to the victims.

U Kaštel Sućurcu nalazi se najstarija obrambena kula u Kaštelima koju je 1392. sagradio splitski nadbiskup Andrija Benzi (Gualdo) kako bi zaštitio seljake naselja Putalj, smještenog na obroncima Kozjaka oko crkvice sv. Jurja. Nizom dodatnih zahvata, kula je postala naselje uz more.

Nadbiskup Averaldo je 1488. godine tu sagradio svoj ljetnikovac a svoj konačni oblik kaštel je dobio 1509. godine. Najstariju jezgru Sućurca čini sklop Kaštilica kojeg čini dvorište utvrđene palače - ljetnikovca na čijem se južnom zidu nalaze raskošno ukrašeni prozori u stilu visoke gotike i seoskih kuća. Za razliku od ostalih naselja ovdje je trg formiran na južnoj strani ljetnikovca. Danas se na njemu nalazi izložbeni prostor "Podvorje" u kojem se čuva dio arheoloških nalaza iz Putalja. Od stare župne crkve sagrađene u 16. st. ostao je samo zvonik jer je crkva 1943. godine, tijekom savezničkog bombardiranja, srušena.
