Ninety seconds on Castello Fortress
If you only have time for a coffee in Petrovac, spend it on the upper terrace. The whole beach, the harbour and both islets lie below, with the war memorial above you.
The rock holds three things that are easy to confuse. The Venetian tower is gone, and the upper terrace stands where it was. The longer stone ranges beside it were the lazaret, where arriving sailors were kept in quarantine, and they now hold a restaurant terrace, a lounge bar and a night club.
On the viewpoint stand an old cannon and a memorial to local men killed in the wars of the last century. Read the inscriptions, stay on the made paths and keep back from the sea side of the rock.
