The Fortress
Tvrđava
more than a year ago
The main gate at the southern entrance is climbable for elevated city views, and happens to be the best preserved. Inside the walls there are numerous remaining monuments to significant influences: the Lapidarium (0 - 300AD), the remains of an early Byzantine street, a small but aesthetically pleasing 'Bali-bey' Mosque, the monument to a Serbian liberator Prince Mihailo Obrenović, the prison and the beautiful Turkish baths (Hammam), now a very good restaurant. The Fortress covers 22 hectares, its walls are 2,100 meters long, 8 meters high, and, on average, 3 meters wide.
