The Kolonija skulptora Ostrožac has existed since 1967. Its collection comprises more than 130 sculptures displayed in the natural surroundings of the fortress. The artists of the Kolonija skulptora Ostrožac create their works from Bihacit, a regional natural stone.

As a result, the sculptures are not only part of a collection within the fortress but are also connected to their natural surroundings. Three details are therefore key to understanding the Kolonija skulptora Ostrožac: its existence since 1967, the size of its collection, with more than 130 works, and the material used, Bihacit. This material is identified as a regional natural stone and establishes a distinct connection between the works and their surroundings.
