Zatrič, Medieval fortification in Orahovac Municipality, Kosovo.

The stone fortress stands at 1,013 meters above sea level, consisting of an upper town at the peak and a lower section extending downhill.

Archaeological findings indicate that the fortress existed from approximately 900 to 1400, potentially originating as a Byzantine military structure in the region.

The archaeological excavations at Zatrič have uncovered ceramics, brick remains, and architectural elements that demonstrate the construction methods of medieval Kosovo.

The site requires hiking on uneven terrain to reach the fortress remains, with the best access point starting from the nearby village of Zatrić.

The fortress location on Gradište features natural defenses with 50-meter-high steep rocks on its southern and eastern sides protecting the structure.
