Niš Fortress, Ottoman fortress in Niš, Serbia.
Niš Fortress is a stone stronghold in the city of Niš with extensive stone walls and multiple gates for entry. Inside lie numerous preserved structures and archaeological remains that visitors can explore.
The current structure rose between 1719 and 1723 above Roman-era foundations from antiquity. It endured numerous military conflicts and periods of occupation throughout its long existence.
The fortress houses a 15th-century bathhouse and a mosque that draw visitors seeking to understand the region's Ottoman heritage. Art galleries inside display regional works and contemporary exhibitions that reflect the cultural life of the city today.
Entry is through several gates, with the Stambol Gate serving as the main entrance to the grounds. Wear comfortable shoes, as the site is large and requires walking to explore the various areas.
