History of Kastel Novi
The entire Kastela region has been popular for centuries. With roots back to Greek times when sailors stopped at the beautiful ports, much of the region was settled later. Kastel Novi in particular began to look like its modern day self during the rule of Pavo Cipiko, who built a fortress there in the 1500s. From there, the settlement of Kastel Novi began to grow up around it, creating many of the historic buildings and streets still standing today. Though the government shifted hands various times throughout history, the scenic appeal of Kastel Novi remained constant.
