The Barone Fortress (also known as Šubićevac Fortress, Tvrđava Barone or Tvrđava Šubićevac) in Šibenik, Croatia, is an early modern fortress constructed in 1646 on Vidakuša hill above the city. Together with the remaining three city fortresses, it is a part of the Šibenik fortification system. It played a significant role in the city's defense from the Ottomans during the Cretan War. For a long time, it carried the name of its main defender, Baron Christoph von Degenfeld. At the start of the 20th century, along with the surrounding neighborhood, it was renamed Šubićevac, after the medieval patrician family Šubić. Barone Fortress was revitalized through an EU-funded project worth €1.38 million, and re-opened in January 2016 winning the national Cultural Attraction of the Year Award. Entrance free of charge.
