Stari Grad, Medieval fortress in Užice, Serbia
The stone fortress stands on a steep cliff surrounded by the Đetinja River, featuring remnants of defensive walls and a citadel structure.
Built in the 14th century by the Vojinović noble family, the fortress underwent modifications during Ottoman and Austrian control until its deliberate demolition in 1863.
The fortress received designation as a Monument of Culture of Great Importance in 1983, marking its significance in Serbian architectural heritage.
The site provides educational programs about local history while offering visitors the opportunity to explore medieval defensive architecture and regional construction techniques.
Recent conservation efforts, supported by the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation with $75,000, focus on maintaining the fortress's structural integrity.
