Novi Pazar Fortress, Medieval fortress in Novi Pazar, Serbia.
The triangular fortress contains three corner bastions and a central watchtower rising 15 meters high between the northern and western sections.
Originally constructed in the 15th century, the fortress underwent major reconstruction after 1683, following Turkish defeat at Vienna, replacing wooden walls with stone fortifications.
The fortress walls display circular relief motifs carved at five meters height, featuring representations of lions, bows, arrows, birds, and snakes.
The fortress occupies a central position in Novi Pazar, bordered by the Raska River and Old Market Square, with multiple entry points for visitors.
The octagonal watchtower named Stara izvidnica contains four distinct levels, each designed with specific openings for defensive observation purposes.
