Nebojša Tower

The Nebojša Tower (Kula Nebojša) is the best-preserved medieval structure of the Belgrade Fortress, located in the Lower Town at the edge of the Sava River. Built around 1460 by the Hungarians, the tower was designed as a cannon tower to defend the harbor from Ottoman naval incursions. Its robust circular architecture featured thick walls and specialized embrasures for early artillery, representing the cutting edge of 15th-century military engineering. The name 'Nebojša' translates to 'Fearless', a title inherited from an older, destroyed donjon in the Upper Town. Following the Ottoman conquest of Belgrade in 1521, the tower was repurposed into a notorious dungeon for political prisoners. Its most famous captive was the Greek revolutionary and poet Rigas Feraios, who was executed here in 1798. After a comprehensive restoration completed in 2011 with Greek financial support, the tower now serves as a multi-level museum. The exhibits focus on the history of the fortress and the diverse struggles for liberation across the Balkan Peninsula.
