Small neighborhood

From the position of the Uskok Armory itself, a high staircase leads up to the upper, spacious part of the fortress. The entrance to this space had a simple arched shape, which was a common architectural detail of the time. Initially, this space served as the apartment of the weapons manager, the person responsible for the storage and distribution of weapons within the fortress. Later, this part of the fortress was renovated and used as accommodation for officers and soldiers, who stayed there during longer periods of combat readiness. This upper space played an important role in the military organization of the fortress because it enabled surveillance, rapid coordination and readiness for defense, which further ensured the security of the entire complex.
