Zvornik Fortress, Medieval fortress in Zvornik, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The three-part fortress contains Lower, Middle, and Upper Town sections, with the Upper Town positioned 400 meters above sea level overlooking the Drina River.
Construction began in the late 13th century, and the fortress changed control between Bosnian, Hungarian, Serbian, and Ottoman powers throughout the 15th century.
The fortress earned its alternate name, Jerina's Town, from legends attributing its construction to Despot Đurađ Branković's wife, known as the Damned Jerina.
Visitors can access the fortress via a 1700-meter footpath from the town center or through a 7-kilometer road suitable for vehicles.
The Large Tower in the Middle Town section reaches 20 meters in height and includes architectural elements from multiple historical periods.
