Venetian round tower
In the middle of 15th century the round tower was constructed by the Venetian rulers to defend the harbor. This was a typical Renaissance round tower, relatively low with thick walls to endure the cannon fire. The upper parts of the walls lean outward, which made it easier to target attackers. The parapet of the tower has experienced the greatest amount of changes through time, and has not been preserved in its original form.
In 1774. the tower was renovated for the first time. The new ruler of the Kvarner islands was Austria, which had no need for the Veli Losinj fortification. Only in 1911 did the Central Commission in Vienna, perhaps acting on the recommendation of the Archduke Charles Stephen, order the walls restored, but not the roof and the wooden structures of each floor, so that the tower continued to deteriorate.
Today, the tower is a museum-gallery opens to all visitors to Veli Losinj. Opening hours are from 10 a.m. – 12 o’clock and 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. (from 15th June to 15th September).
