The story behind it
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.
