Depedogen, Ottoman fortress in Stara Varoš, Podgorica, Montenegro.
The stone fortress stands above the meeting point of Ribnica and Morača rivers, featuring defensive walls and towers from the Ottoman period.
Built around 1477 during Ottoman rule, the fortress experienced severe damage in 1878 when lightning triggered an explosion in its ammunition storage.
The fortress holds significance as the presumed birthplace of Stefan Nemanja, founder of the Nemanjić dynasty, leading to its alternate name Nemanjin Grad.
The fortress remains open for visitors throughout the year, with guided tours available to explore the medieval architecture and defense structures.
Local Orthodox ceremonies take place at this historical site, connecting present religious practices with the medieval heritage of Montenegro.
