Fetislam Fortress
Фетислам
An Ottoman fortress on the edge of Kladovo, with well-preserved inner and outer walls. From the ramparts you can look out over the Danube and across to Romania.
Fetislam Fortress was built by the Ottoman Empire in 1524 as an outpost for attacks on Hungary, and its outer walls were expanded in the 19th century. The fortress stands on the Danube bank on the western side of Kladovo. Its inner and outer walls, gun emplacements and gates are all in good condition. Inside are grassy areas where locals take walks. Music festivals and other events are often held here in summer. It is open free of charge all day. The town also has an archaeological museum that holds artifacts from the Trajan's Bridge site.
