Like that character from the meme, who when he sees breasts immediately presses likewhen I see a fort, I immediately press hikeWith the river Lika to the south and west, this 638-meter-high hill in the 15th century was suitable for the construction of a fort, and today for a lookout point.

When I climbed Gradina and stood next to the cross at sunset, the first thing that came to my mind were the last scene from the movie Monty Python's Life of Brian and the anthem of stoicism Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

After its construction, it was more destroyed than upgraded, so that today it has barely visible outlines. The people of Bilaj, who used the fort as a source of building stone, are partly to blame. In ancient times, the vehicular access was from the eastern side, and from there today a short footpath leads to the top.
