Luggage storage in Kastel Luksic

Museums in Kastel Luksic

Castle Vitturi 

The most prominent of the defensive castles situated on the coast surrounding Split, Castle Vitturi is a must-visit when traveling to Kastel Luksic. Built in the 16th century by Noble families from Split and Trogir, Vitturi’s formidable southern wall warded off invaders from the sea for centuries. The castle is named for the Vitturi brothers who designed and built it. There's a large central courtyard you'll walk through through the main gate, and there are multiple structures that make up the castle, including the large defensive wall, and the primary sea-facing tower that has access directly from the Adriatic.

Defensive measures weren't the only factors in the castle's design, as there are wonderful Renaissance flourishes to the facade and interior. Today it functions as both the museum and cultural center where plenty of local events and concerts take place throughout the year. It's immediately accessible from the promenade and is an easy stop on any sightseeing trip through Kastel Luksic. 

Cippico Tower

‘Kula Cippico’ is situated one town over in Kaštel Novi and, like nearly all fortifications along the Dalmatian Coast, was built to defend the Croatian settlements against the Ottoman incursions into the Baltics. Then part of the Venetian Republic, the advanced defense features of the castle made all the difference in protecting the city of Split during the 16th century. Situated atop a craggy outcrop of sea rock, the large tower featured defensive walls, a drawbridge, and multiple gates accessible from both the sea and the mainland. You can tour the tower's interior or simply admire it from the promenade or the water.

Museum of the Town of Kastela

This tiny museum is situated right in the center of town and goes into great detail, explaining the history of the castles lining the Dalmatian coast around Split. The various exhibits feature detailed information (in English) about the reasons for these castles and both the noblemen and commoners who built these defensive fortifications. It's not a terribly big museum, but it only takes about an hour to tour and it's well worth it. Especially on the off chance it's raining.

Shopping in Kastel Luksic

Split’s Marmont Street

If you need a proper shop experience, a small town like Kastel Luksic simply won't have what you're looking for. With some of the best luxury boutiques and designer brands in Croatia, Split’s marble-tiled Marmont Street is one of the country's most glamorous shopping destinations. A shopping spree through this street is easy to tack onto any trip to Split, being a short walk from the Riva Promenade. Zara, Massimo Dutti, and Bershka are just a few of the designer brands that have a presence on Marmont. 

Kastel Luksic Promenade

No matter how you choose to suspend your time in Kastel Luksic, you're bound to end up strolling along the waterfront promenade. The options may be limited, but the cluster of boutiques and craft stores offers the maximum amount of charm. The town’s stores are especially useful for artisanal food goods like locally-produced olive oil, wine, and lavender products.

Diocletian’s Palace

If you're gonna take a trip to this part of Croatia, it would be a shame to skip Split. There are plenty of worthy landmarks and attractions, but one of the coolest is this subterranean market right in Old Town. With stone walls and a medieval-like setting, there isn't a cooler place to shop through vendors selling jewelry and other handcrafted items.

Restaurants in Kastel Luksic

Mala Mora Restaurant & Cocktail Bar

This upscale seafood restaurant boasts an airy dining room and terrace overlooking the waterfront. While the menu varies daily based on what the fisherman caught, their tuna steak and grilled sea bass are standard offerings, usually topped with a delicious white wine sauce. Each dish is presented beautifully in the modern “ tweezer food” aesthetic you'll find at Michelin-recognized joints, but the prices are fairly affordable. 

Restaurant Mamut 

While this tavern setting definitely gives off the hole-in-the-wall vibe, the food is top-notch and has certainly earned the approval of the locals. While it’s about a 10-minute walk from the waterfront, you’ll feel like an in-the-know foodie when you walk in there and confidently order the lamb. 

Kadinela

Set in the hills overlooking the rest of Kastel Luksic and the sea, Kadinla is well worth the trek up the leafy slopes of Kozjak Hill. Dalmatian standards like roast lamb and lemony catch-of-the-day are paired with Selections from their deep cellar of Croatian vintages.
