Ram Fortress, Medieval fortress in Veliko Gradište, Serbia
The pentagonal fortress stands on a steep cliff above the Danube River, featuring five defensive towers connected by thick stone walls and ramparts.
Sultan Bayezid II ordered the construction of this military stronghold in 1483 to protect Ottoman territories from Hungarian attacks along the Danube frontier.
The fortress complex includes remnants of a mosque, caravanserai, and hammam, reflecting the Ottoman influence on regional architecture and commerce.
Visitors can reach the fortress by ferry service connecting Ram with Stara Palanka, while pedestrian paths guide tourists through the military complex.
The fortress incorporates a hidden walkway between its main and external ramparts, allowing defenders to move secretly between five cannon towers.
