St. John's fortress is located on the hill, 115 m high above the old town centre of Šibenik.
It was built up in 1646 in the form of a star according to the project of the Venetian military engineer Antonio Leni,
It is interesting that the construction of the fortress lasted for only one month and a half (six weeks)
because the inhabitants of Šibenik were afraid of Turkish attacks so they helped building it up, too.
