Uskok DaysUskočki dani

Uskočki dani is an annual medieval reenactment festival held in Senj, usually on the first weekend of July. It commemorates the 16th-century era of the Uskoks, who famously built and defended the Nehaj fortress 1. The event transforms the city into a living history stage with costumed performances, traditional music, and battle demonstrations evocative of Senj’s historical legacy. Visitors experience a medieval atmosphere as local cultural and artistic groups reenact scenes of Uskok life 1. One can expect lively parades, music, and communal feasting on the fortress grounds.

Held in Senj (Lika-Senj County), UskoČki dani celebrates the town's historic defenders known as the Uskoks. The Uskoks were Croatian warriors who inhabited Senj’s Nehaj fortress in the 16th century and resisted Ottoman incursions. The festival highlights this heritage and the romanticized image of the fortress in the community’s identity.
