Mirabella Fortress (Peovica) is a fortress located above town of Omià ¡ in Split-Dalmatia County, in Dalmatia, Croatia.
Mirabella or Peovica is a Romanesque fortress, built in the 13th century above the town of Omià ¡ by the KaÃÂiàfamily. Mirabella was a reliable hideout for the Omià ¡ pirates who used to retreat into the safety of the Cetina gorge. Legend says that in 1537, during an attack by the Turks, the defenders of Omià ¡ confused the attackers with their shouting and shots so much that the Turks overestimated the number of defenders and fled.
