Uzhitz fortress

Uzhichki Grad, Stari Grad, Stari Grad
Serbia, Uzice
The Uzhitz fortress is located in the city of Uzhitz on a high mountain spur. It was erected in the second half of the 14th century to protect the city and the trade route from the Moravian Valley to Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1863, the fortress was blown up, leaving only the walls and the tower. From 1973 to 1980, restoration work was carried out in the fortress. Today, during the summer months, impromptu theater performances and folklore festivals are held in the fortress.

The fortress of the 14th century, the so-called Old Town Uzhice, is located on a mountain, which can only be climbed from one side - from Gradska Street. From the side of the Uzhice-Zlatibor highway, at first it seemed to me that it was just a rock of a bizarre shape, similar in outline to human buildings, such an impregnable fortress and, unfortunately, poorly preserved. The fortress was destroyed in 1863 by the Ottoman troops leaving Uzhice, so that in the future the fortress could not be used for military purposes.
