Momčilova Kula

The ruins above Preodac are commonly associated with medieval Unac. The municipal strategy recognizes the site, while a 2025 archaeological conference abstract notes unresolved building phases and possible earlier fabric. The name Momčilova kula belongs to local tradition; it does not establish that the epic hero built or occupied the fortress. Much less of the tower survives than older descriptions imply.

Medieval period

Fortification documented in historical or archaeological references.

Surviving landscape

Ruins and topography preserve evidence of the defensive site.

Architecture & evidence

Broken rectangular tower

The published archaeological account describes a rectangular tower, while later photographs show substantial loss. This study leaves the shell broken instead of restoring four intact storeys.

Descending terraces

Four descending levels organize the narrow court in the archaeological description. Heights and retaining-wall survival are estimated.

Name and legend

Momčilova kula is a traditional name. It is not proof that the epic hero Momčilo built the fort; its archaeological phases remain under study.
