Gio- vanni, constructed in 1646, a splendid view over town, bay, and islands rewards the labour of the cUmb. The next is Fort Barone, so named after Baron Degenfeldt, the gallant defender of the city against 20,000 Turks in 1647. It is now abandoned and in ruins. The third is Fort S. Anna, which crowns the hill just above the houses. This is thought to occupy the site of a king's castle mentioned in 1066. Fort S. Giovanni and the walls, of which a great portion of the circuit still re- 245 246 ...SEBENICO mains, were restored in 1837. These walls are for the most part the work of kings of Hungary, though the Venetians added to them. The sea suburb the Borgo di Mare is probably the oldest portion of the place ; that on the land side, the Borgo di Terra, grew up with the need for the shelter of the fortress during the Turkish wars.
In 1117 the town was taken and destroyed by Ordelaffo Faliero ; but in 1127, when Zara Vecchia was razed to the ground by Domenico Michieli, and the bishop and clergy were removed to Scardona, the bulk of the population took refuge at Sebenico.
