The fortress grew from a Celtic settlement in the 3rd century BC into a Roman military camp. It later served as a major stronghold for Byzantine, Serbian, and Ottoman forces who defended it through numerous sieges.
The complex houses museums dedicated to military history and displays weapons and uniforms spanning different periods of Serbian warfare. Visitors can observe tangible evidence of how soldiers lived and fought at this location across centuries.
The grounds are open daily with no entrance fee, allowing visitors to walk freely through the preserved walls, towers, and underground passages. You can explore different areas of the complex at your own pace throughout the day.
The fortress walls bear carved inscriptions from the 1600s left by soldiers who defended the fortification during its many sieges. These engravings are personal marks from men who guarded the site under harsh wartime conditions.
