Mileševac Fortress, Medieval stone fortress near Prijepolje, Serbia
Mileševac Fortress stands on a massive rock formation with steep cliffs, featuring a central citadel and multiple square towers connected by defensive walls.
The fortress, first documented in 1444, protected the region until 1465 when Ottoman forces captured it and established a military garrison within its walls.
The fortress guards the Mileševa Monastery, which contains medieval Serbian frescoes and holds status as a Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance.
Located 7 kilometers east of Prijepolje, the fortress site connects to marked hiking trails leading through the Mileševka River canyon.
The fortress position provides views over three directions due to natural cliff formations on the eastern, northern, and western sides.
