During the 12th, 13th and 14th century, at the time when Omiš was ruled by families Kačić and Šubić, Slanica was a safe haven of famous Omiš pirates. After the 14th century, when strong Turkish forces appeared in the neighbourhood of Omiš and Poljice, a marketplace was built in Slanica - it was a station for salt trade between the people from Omiš and the Turks. This is where the name Slanica comes from (root of the word is “salt” in Croatian language). In the beautiful canyon of river Cetina, a Karst beauty, only 4 km from where it flows into the sea, on the Mediaeval ruins of the marketplace, today’s restaurant Kaštil Slanica

was built. This year it celebrates twenty- five years of its operation. Tower Slanica is a monument from the 16th century. You can reach the restaurant by car, on foot or by boat which leaves from Omiš bridge. Restaurant Kaštil Slanica, as a part of several-century long history of the canyon, boasts with a particular ambience linking its gastronomic offer to its surroundings and history. Besides offering peace, beauty and relaxation in the clash between the Mediterranean and continental regions, the sea and the river, the sirocco and the northern wind “bura”, it also offers homemade specialties.
