Nova Kraljevica Castle//MONOMAD CHALLENGE

Good morning dear Friends in the Black And White Community 🙌📸

As I usually review, process and publish photos from my recent travels in a certain order, today it is the turn of this castle in Kraljevica, in the northern part of our beautiful Adriatic. It was built by the noble Frankopani family in the 17th century, and today it remains a symbol of the time that shaped the Croatian coast. Here, every window hides its own story. Every shadow preserves a memory. Thus, this castle does not stand just as a building — but as a guardian of identity and the past. Built in the mid-17th century on the site of an older fortress, as the residence of Petar Zrinski and his wife Katarina Frankopan, it was an important point of the Zrinski-Frankopan network of fortresses, and later served various economic and military purposes.

So, let's go see together, but first

The castle is now the cultural center of the city. Unfortunately, it was closed that day, so I wanted to take a photo of it from the inside. It hosts exhibitions, concerts, and historical events, including the Frankopan Days, and is also protected as a cultural asset and is in the process of further restoration for cultural tourism.

I'm planning to visit again during the tourist season and hope to be able to take photos of it from the inside.

I took the photos with a Nikon D750, 50mm lens, f/1.8, manual mode, RAW format required, variable ISO and shutter speed. Processing in Photoshop Action-Black&White3

This is all for Today dear Friends, see you Tomorrow!
