History+
In the Middle Ages, Cetin was owned by the Frankopans. Ivan Frankopan Cetinski lost his life in 1493 in the Battle of Krbava Field. His son, Franjo Frankopan, later held high ecclesiastical offices as Archbishop of Kalocsa-Kecskemét and Bishop of Eger. On January 1, 1527, the Croatian Parliament, the Sabor, elected Ferdinand I of Habsburg as the Croatian king in Cetin. From the 16th to the 19th century, the castle was part of the Military Frontier and suffered damage during the Ottoman Wars. In the 19th century, Cetin was abandoned by its inhabitants, and the administration was moved to Cetingrad.
