The Medieval Despot Stefan Tower

Imposing view of Despot Stefan Tower (also known as Nebojsa Tower) with the entrance arch opening toward the rivers confluence. This medieval tower, built in the 15th century during the reign of Serbian despot Stefan Lazarevic, represents one of the best-preserved monuments of Kalemegdan Fortress. The mighty limestone walls testify to medieval Serbian builders mastery, while the round arch frames a view stretching toward the river horizon. The name Nebojsa means fearless in Serbian, reflecting the defensive function of this bastion.
