Pećigrad Fortress

Pećigrad preserves the relationship between a compact earlier tower and a later Ottoman fort. The heritage institute associates the castle with Ivan Tuz and subsequent noble owners. Its later frontier role brought a larger defensive enclosure nearby. The scene keeps the detached tower visibly separate from that expanded complex.

Through the centuries

Medieval period

Early defensive phase represented by surviving or documented masonry.

Ottoman period

Frontier garrisons and subsequent alterations reshape the site.

Architecture & evidence

Detached older tower

The earlier oval tower stands apart from the enlarged fort. Its published diameter guides this open shell; missing roofing is omitted.

Later polygonal defenses

Four octagonal artillery works distinguish the larger Ottoman enclosure. Preserved heights and court alignment are approximate.

Continued occupation

A later mosque and settlement occupy the fortified area. The model distinguishes this occupation from the earlier military tower.
