Fetislam, Ottoman fortification in Kladovo, Serbia.
The fortification includes two distinct sections, the Smaller Town and Greater Town, positioned along the right bank of the Danube River.
Built in 1524 during Ottoman expansion, Fetislam formed part of a defensive line with fortresses in Smederevo, Kulic, Ram, and Golubac.
The name Fetislam translates to Gate of Islam, reflecting the Ottoman influence on military architecture and cultural heritage in the region.
The fortification features deep trenches, thick walls, angular designs for crossfire, and three access points including two movable bridges.
The fortress contained secret passages leading to boats on the Danube River, allowing soldiers to escape undetected during emergency situations.
