Old Rakalj is located east of today’s settlement, on a hill above Cape St. Nicholas in Raška Bay. It is a former prehistoric fortress, an ancient fortress and a medieval castle. The first mention of the castle dates from 1288 (Castell Novo), and the settlement dates from 1312 (Castellare de Rachir). In the floor plan of Old Rakalj today you can recognize the ruins of the castle, the towers of the defensive walls, the guardhouse and the church of St. Agnes (St. Agnija) from the XV. St., which still exists and is a favorite wedding location with a magnificent view of the Raška Bay and the Kvarner Islands.
