Nebojsa Tower, Belgrade

Nebojša Tower is a medieval tower in Belgrade Fortress. It was built in the 15th century by the Hungarians and used as a major defensive tower of the fortress. Later, it was used as a dungeon. In 2010, Nebojša Tower was turned into a museum.

The tower was originally called the White Tower, and then renamed to Timisoara Tower. It gained the name Nebojša Tower in 1690 when another tower called Nebojša Tower was destroyed. Nebojša, meaning "fearless," was a common name for towers at that time.

Reconstruction on the tower took place in 1739 while the city was under Austrian rule. The upper part of the tower was lowered. A new floor with a vault was added. An arsenal was placed at the base of the tower, which was used for cannon casting.

After the Ottomans regained control, they used the tower as a prison. It became a dark symbol of Belgrade due to its reputation for torturing and strangling prisoners. Later, Nebojša Tower developed a better reputation as a place for fun and games. The first football game in Serbia took place in the field in front of the castle in 1896.
