Novo Brdo Fortress, Medieval fortress in Novo Brdo, Kosovo
The fortress consists of two sections: an Upper Town with a hexagonal shape and central tower, plus a Lower Town featuring rectangular structures.
King Stephen Uroš II Milutin ordered the construction of this fortress in 1285 to protect the region's mining operations of gold and silver.
The fortress contained seven Eastern Orthodox churches and two Roman Catholic churches, reflecting the religious diversity of the medieval mining settlement.
Visitors can explore remains of eight rectangular towers, three gates, and walls surrounded by a dry moat in the central area of Kosovo.
The mines near the fortress produced glam silver, a special alloy containing up to 33 percent gold, attracting merchants from distant regions.
