The remains of the old fortress, known among the people of Sinj simply as the City, still stand faithfully guarding the town of Sinj after centuries. It was a refuge for the people and soldiers during Turkish invasions, guarded and protected the weak, and resisted invaders. In the center was the church of St. Michael, in which, on the altar of St. Barbara, the Franciscans from Rama placed a precious and miraculous image of Our Lady of Mercy. Through the intercession of Fr. Pavle Vučković, in the settlement below the fortress, construction of the church of St. Mary began in 1699, which was completed in 1712. Not much remains of the fortress itself. After the earthquakes of 1709, 1768, 1796, and multiple barbarian attacks, the walls of the old fortified Sinj gave way and the people began to settle in Podvaroš. The church that stands today on the fort was built in 1887, on the bicentennial of the arrival of the Cetinje people from Rama. It symbolizes the vow, firm alliance and loyalty that has bound the people of Cetinje to the Mother of God for centuries. In honor of their eternal heavenly protector, in 2008 the people of Sinj erected a bronze statue of Our Lady of Sinj on the fort, the work of academic sculptor Josip Marinović. The path leading from the foot of the fort to the church is marked by 14 Stations of the Cross. Each station is the work of one of the most famous Croatian artists. A complete renovation of the fort walls is planned by 2015, with a grand celebration of the tricentennial of the defense of Sinj. The Old Town fortress and the cemetery are under the protection of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia.

This is one out of two trails from Orlove Stijene to Svilaja, and if you find hiking on gravel roads rather boring, then I'd reccomend this trail. This segment of the trail is going through lots of sinkholes (hence the name "preko vrtača" which is officially used), so expect lots of ups and downs. This part of the trail isn't as picturesque as before the sinkholes, where there are small meadows offering views towards the peak, and after the sinkholes, where you get to a rocky plateau with barely any vegetation and become surrounded by views and peaks. But it is fascinating beacuse of its numerous sinkholes.
