I talked about it
Hey! Welcome on the next exploration! :)
Today we will visit Nicholas' fort from the 16th century
He protected the entry to the city of Šibenik, in which the Game of Thrones was made
so let's begin? :)
We're gonna sail? :)
Fort is there, but first we have to go through this island
and on this footbridge
what's interesting in this forest, apparently there are some bunkers
on the left, near the bay
-yes, but they were built during the Yugoslavian War -exactly..
but we can look for them anyway
it's 7 am, and we have a trip to Belgrade ahead of us because we have to pick up Łukasz
it's took 7hours..
but we were to record this fort, and pick up Łukasz
we also had to get up early in the morning, record the fort and go to the bearded beast
7 am in Croatia, beautiful sun
-wonderful views -Look around with me
why we did not come here yesterday to swim :)
see how shallow it is here, how many interesting underwater things must be here
our laziness :)
don't say that :)
seriously we dived twice yesterday, and we had enough
we enter the forest
hearing Cicadas?
"Cicadas on the Cyclades" - Polish Song
or opposite :)
i See the shelter
in those bushes
along this path, here is one more
shelters with sea view :)
but they are from Yugoslav times, it is not the fort we are looking for
although this part could have been
this fort was built up in the place where the church once stood
that's why there was a chapel in the middle
let's go in here
there could be other buildings around, eg a small village
see tranches
you can go inside
We enter?
it's all about strengthening it
tranches in Poland are made of concrete and boards
we descend
light a lamp..
it was built in the period in which we were born, in the 90s
-there is an exit? -no
it's all over :)
it's such a small room
it looks like a small cellar, but I do not know what it could have been
maybe there was a passage up here
There is some strengthening here
What a pity!
Let's go to the fort, maybe we'll find something else
I would still go to the other one
maybe there is something interesting there
just like this cellar :)
basement was not interesting, but descent ..
see, there could be a cannon in the middle
it could be
these are the approaches to this
and there could be ammunition storage downstairs in these rooms
there is nothing here..
and the entrance is maybe from the other side
exactly...
on these rails there was a rifle that moved on these rails
on left nad right..
and shelling that bay
if you do not have to, do not go
ok so i'm leaving..
See how many fortifications are here
this fort was quite significant
this fort was created to protect the entrance to the port from the Turks
earlier, there were 2 more turrets set up
on both sides, and a chain was pulled between them
thanks to which the flow of vessels was regulated
no ship could pass without their knowledge
only those ships were very different from today :)
there is entrance prohibited ...
but a visit to the Fort of Santa Claus, at your own risk
very cool :)
reasonably, they do not forbid it outright
starts to blow, let's go to St. Nicholas
this fortress was built in 1553.
but the first construction plans were created in 1524.
the Venetian republic was asked for a loan and assistance in construction
this was caused by the danger of the invasion of the Turks
Venice agreed to build this fortress, due to the protection of its Dalmatian land
which is behind my back
it was built of bricks imported from the Venetian territories
and stones that can be seen at the bottom
the stone is more resistant to moisture, and brick on top
You think that's how it goes inside?
lizard :)
did You See her?
I'm going first :)
I have to see if I can do it
come on this board :)
i talked about it :)
it's semi-round, it's going to get harder yet
I do not know if I'm going down
our stuntman nr.1
our man for special tasks, enters the board like a snake
like a lizard :)
only here you have to be careful
I see that there is no problem for you :)
fort at 7 am, it's like breakfast :)
easy :)
Hello fort...
I'm sure, in a moment we'll find a normal staircase :)
I do not think it, it's all destroyed
but here is some great board
it's amazing..
yeah
it is rebuilt
can you see, this part is added
many things were added here and rearranged
It's strange that they did not open a museum here
there is no normal entrance :)
mostly entrance :)
I feel like on the set of Game of thrones
It is possible that this fortress was also used for the film
look at this ..
huuuge whole..
there is about 15 meters
it is not visible in the camera, but it is very deep there
I am visible from here like a lighthouse
but I walk fast enough that no one will see me
and that there would be no trouble
25 soldiers served in such a fortress
and 5 artillery
in addition, the Venetian nobility chose the captain
who spent two years here
it was a nomination and distinction
but he had to sit here for 2 years
and the death penalty was imposed for arbitrary abandonment
it is still a trellis, but it is destroyed by rust
I began to wonder, but this grille is indeed from that time
I'm not sure, I do not want to say something stupid
another descent down, we're at the main square of this fort
Someone once tried to climb here
that's how the cannons were
which were aimed that way
this fortress has never been used for military purposes
it was more of a deterrent
the only example when a cannon shot was fired
when the Spanish galleon stood on the other side
the bullet after the shot stopped near the fortress
and the wooden base for the cannon crumbled
and that was the end of her miliatar story, but it's impressive as a deterrent
there were 32 cannons here, and it was probable that if all of them were fired at once, the structure would be broken
and after prolonged use it may break up
well
if a camera fall there, I would have to go to the diving school for equipment
some growths, but since he was a fort he had to draw water from somewhere
-we already know from where they got water and there - is still water there?
yes there is
and there is second well behind You
if not looked at, 31 people served here
Did you say that the commander could not leave this fort under the penalty of death?
we were not there yet
there is an aggregate downstairs
there are some workers there
look at these coats of arms
Do you think it's 16th century?
propably, as well as 17th or 18th..
and so it is very old
Are we going down?
We are lucky, since there is renovation there is a way out
and we can get around the whole fort, and if we're here, they will not do anything to us
we are already inside :)
this hole looks like a shooting range
And here is such a circle? you see?
there is something here?
you're right here a rifle could move
we can see them through this window
something crates
and they do not hear us because they are on a chute
very loudly
I feel like I am walking in the catacombs
It is a pity that they do not want to renew it or do not have the funds
in 1979 attempts to restore this fort
but it was stopped due to lack of funds
then the war in Yugoslavia stopped any attempts of restoring..
the pigeons do not know how to fly out
see the steel line to the very top
maybe someone tried to climb here
deep here
very deep
here is a boat of workers
that is, they came here by boat
so we have to go down this way, go upstairs?
one of the workers passed that way, but he probably did not see us
do not shine on it, it looks like a cave :)
nice
good work :)
do not do anything that can be burial
and here comes the end of our journey to the sixteenth century
after the abandoned fort of St. Nicholas
if you appreciate what we do, look at our previous videos, check our instagram and fb
and? See you one the next exploration! :) Hey!
