St. Michael's Fortress (; ; formerly known as St. Anne's Fortress) is a medieval fort in Šibenik, Šibenik-Knin County, Croatia, situated on a steep hill above the old historic center of the city. Its strategically favorable and dominant position made it the central part of Šibenik fortification system. The location was more or less continuously occupied since the Iron Age, as is witnessed by numerous archaeological findings from the era.Zlatko Gunjača, O kontinuitetu naseljavanja na području Šibenika i najuže okolice, Šibenik: spomen zbornik o 900. obljetnici, Šibenik City Museum, 1976: 38. The city of Šibenik was first mentioned on 25 December 1066 in a charter signed by King Peter Krešimir IV and verified by his courtiers. It is widely considered that the signing took place at St. Michael's Fortress.Slavo Grubišić, Šibenik kroz stoljeća, Šibenik, Muzej grada Šibenika, 1976: 9-11. Read more on Wikipedia
