Nebojša Tower (Belgrade)

Serbia and Montenegro / Central Serbia / Borca / Belgrade
 tower, museum, interesting place, historic landmark, 15th century construction
Nebojsa Tower was used as Turkish prison. It was Donjon at the time of Serbian kings. Famous Greek revolutionary and poet Rigas Feraios was killed here by Turks. Tower is build as a water tower.

It was set in waterline of Danube (in time of its construction river has some different course). It was connected via huge chain with U shaped tower (that only remains left) and thus closed little "hidden" port.

Tower itself changed its image very much from original - last floor is changed, tower lost crenelation and machiculations (terraces with holes in floor for defending purpose) and new tower get new openings in each floor for artillery use.
