EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Adam Barr showcases the magnificent Nehaj fortress in Senj, Croatia. Perched on a spur to the south of the city, this imposing structure was constructed in 1558 as a formidable defense against invading Ottoman armies. Its strategic location offers breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea from its rooftop. The Nehaj fortress holds great historical significance as it pays tribute to the brave defenders of Senj - the Uskok corsairs. With their unwavering courage and determination, these defenders managed to hold off Turkish forces for nearly a century, despite being vastly outnumbered. Today, this remarkable fortress has been transformed into a museum dedicated to preserving and honoring the memory of these valiant warriors. Adam Barr's photograph beautifully captures both the architectural grandeur and historical importance of this Croatian landmark. The image transports viewers back in time, allowing them to imagine what life must have been like during those turbulent years when Senj stood strong against enemy invasions. With its rich history and stunning vistas, this print serves as a reminder of Croatia's resilience and strength throughout centuries past. It is an exquisite piece that not only celebrates European architecture but also commemorates the bravery and sacrifice of those who defended their homeland against adversity.
