Koznik, Medieval fortress on Zeljin Mountain slopes near Aleksandrovac, Serbia
The remains of Koznik Castle include three large octagonal towers, several smaller towers, and fortification walls situated at 920 meters elevation.
Prince Lazar constructed Koznik Castle in the 14th century as a military defensive structure to control the Rasina River Valley and Zupa region.
The fortress hosts the annual 'Koznik - Town of Knights' event in August, featuring medieval competitions, traditional food, and demonstrations of Serbian heritage.
Visitors can reach the fortress through hiking trails from Koznica village, with the ascent taking approximately 45 minutes to complete.
The fortress contains a water system with a 5-meter diameter cistern and four wells reaching 4.2 meters deep for survival during long sieges.
