Zindan Gate, City gate in Kalemegdan Park, Serbia.
The Zindan Gate consists of two substantial semicircular towers connected by a passage at the northeastern section of Belgrade Fortress.
Built between 1440 and 1456, this fortification marked a transition period from traditional defense methods to artillery-based military structures.
The name originates from Turkish language, where 'zindan' means dungeon, reflecting its later function as a prison within the fortress complex.
Visitors access the gate through restored wooden bridges, which connect different sections of the fortress and lead to multiple tower levels.
The gate contains seven cannon openings distributed across its towers and arched rampart, demonstrating early firearms defense implementation.
Inception: 15 century
