As it stood in 1202
What Štefano Castle looked like in its prime.
A compact coastal fortress set on a rocky rise of the island of Ugljan, built of pale Dalmatian limestone. The plan reads as an enclosed work of curtain walls surrounding a small central bailey, with a clear main gate oriented toward the sea channel. The silhouette is low and horizontal against the Adriatic, with crenellated parapets and simple rooflines; the immediate setting is the rocky shoreline and open sea.
