Petrič Fortress, Medieval fortress complex in Gornje Nerodimlje, Serbia
The military complex consists of two fortresses, Veliki Petrič and Mali Petrič, constructed with lime mortar and stones on adjacent hilltops above river confluences.
In 1331, the fortress became the site of a significant conflict when Stefan Dušan captured it during his revolt against his father Stefan Dečanski.
The fortress earned recognition as a Cultural Monument of Exceptional Importance in 1967, marking its central role in Serbian medieval military architecture.
Visitors can locate the archaeological site at coordinates 42.3585 latitude and 21.0689 longitude, approximately 10 kilometers from the city of Urosevac.
The walls of Veliki Petrič reached 2.2 meters in thickness and featured four strategic towers controlling the surrounding valley regions.
