Jankovich Castle situated in Islam Grčki is an exceptional and rare example of the combined fortification/residence complex built in medieval time. It was especially important in 17 century, when it become part of the borderline between Venetian Republic (and hence the most-western border of the Christian West) and then expanding Ottoman empire. The complex has a rectangular form, aprox. 80 by 60 m, enclosed partly by buildings (residential, store-houses, stables, etc.) partly by high walls. The main residential building and tower divide the inner space into two courts. Just outside the walls, but belonging to the complex, there is a medieval, Romanesque church. The complex is located on the hillside, surrounded by a beautiful park. It has its own spring of fresh water and fishpond. The complex has been owned by Janković-Desnica family for almost four centuries and it is officially registered Monument of culture. The Ethnographic collection, as the first of the Castle collections returned to the Castle, is presented in ‘The Ancient Kitchen’. You can also climb to the tower and see the exhibition of portraits of family members who preserve this place over the centuries.
