Fort Royal

If you ate visiting Locrum island and you are going to do the fort then visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon as the hike is very steep, but the views are amazing once you reach the top.

Fortress Royal on Lokrum Island offers stunning panoramic views — you can take in the entire island’s lush greenery as well as the beautiful Dubrovnik Old Town across the water. The climb up is well worth it for the peaceful atmosphere and the chance to enjoy these views without the hustle and bustle of the old city crowd. Its totally worth it, even of you consider the 15-20 minues rocky path climb from the port as hard, give it a try.

The way up can be quite steep, but it is absolutely worth the effort. If you visit Lokrum, make sure you don’t miss this hidden gem. The view from the top is nothing short of breathtaking - panoramic scenery that stretches as far as the eye can see. Pictures don’t do it justice, and words can hardly capture the feeling of standing there, surrounded by such natural beauty. It’s one of those places you truly need to experience in person to understand its magic. Take your time at the top, soak in the atmosphere, and let the view leave its mark on you - it’s an unforgettable highlight of any trip to Lokrum.

On the Lokrum island's highest point stands Fort Royal Castle, which was built by the French during Napoleon's occupation of Croatia in 1806, though it was later named Maximilian's Tower by the Austrians. It was completed around 1835.

Great view historic really tough hike up to fort royal really rocky terrain very steep

Beautiful Austro-Hungarian fortress made for defensive purposes, giving vision to all surrounding area, great observatory point and it's almost invisible from sea level, so also from this strategic point, usefull. It was built after kicking of Benedict Monks from the Lokrum Island by French army of Napoleon and later transformed it into military area for Austro-Hungarian dominance period. As four other islands of Croatia that Benedict Monks were taking care of for around 700 years surrounding area is relatively untouched by human inference and left as national reserve area.
