Petrovaradin Fortress, Military fortress in Petrovaradin, Serbia
The stone fortress extends across 112 hectares on a high cliff over the Danube River, featuring multiple defensive walls and 16 kilometers of tunnels.
The construction of the current fortress began in 1692 under Charles Eugene de Croy and took 88 years to complete, with numerous workers losing their lives.
The fortress houses the Museum of Novi Sad, several art studios, and an observatory that regularly holds exhibitions and educational programs.
Visitors can access guided tours of the underground military galleries, defense systems, and clock tower throughout the year from the main entrance near Leopold Gate.
The fortress clock tower contains a reversed mechanism where the large hand shows hours and the small hand indicates minutes to help river sailors read time.
