If you are visiting Banja Luka, Kastel is something you cannot miss. Loads of events during summer.
One of the symbols of Banja Luka city.Definitley would suggest visiting.
We were there in winter time. Not many visitors. The castle looked deserted, was not yet renovated. Be walked through the main building. The view behind it, by the Vrbas river was stunning.
The fortress is a very nice place to visit, with the view on Vrbas river. Inside the fortress there is also a very good restaurant "Kazamat". The decor is all medieval and the food is amazing! The staff is also very nice :) Recommend it!
Situated in the walls of Turkish fortress /from Otoman era period) above the beatifull and always green Vrbas river - Kazamat serves refined food combining domestic and international taste. Must visit while in Banja Luka.
Cool part is it's a 14th century castle. 🏰 Bad part, it was built during the reign of the Ottoman empire.
The best place during Summer Festival in Banja Luka, I recommend Freshwave Festival with great Djs
Restored fortress, one of the best venues I've seen in life.
Old fortress of Kastel is really a landmark of Banjaluka. It's a must-see when visiting the city.
I love this place, and city of Banja Luka. Beautiful fortress and they have few music Festivals there in the fortress. Worth of checking out
Beautiful historical place on the River. Worth visiting.
I just could visit from outside because there were a festival inside and the entrance was not allowed. Nevertheless it looks very nice and relatively well preserved.
Amazing place, and amazing events are there like Demofest (battle of bands) and Freshvawe amazing DJ s come every year and its also amazing place to chill.
Nothing special and I was disappointed to see a lot of garbage dumped in some parts of the fortress.
