Nebojša Tower

Belgrade


A former dungeon, the tower (1460) – the largest and best preserved in the fortress – now serves as a museum, with some excellent exhibits on the Ottoman era, the First Serbian Uprising and Balkan freedom fighter Rigas Feraios, a Greek revolutionary who was jailed and murdered here.
