Srebrenica Lower Fortress

Srebrenica has separate upper medieval and lower Ottoman fortifications. This anchor identifies the lower fort: its mapped perimeter carries the National Monuments Commission reference for Donji grad. Historical research distinguishes it from the older stronghold uphill. The scene follows the mapped lower circuit as reduced artillery walls and open terraces. It is also distinct from the better-known Srebrenik fortress near Tuzla.

Architecture & evidence

Rounded northern defence

This curved masonry section follows the mapped lower-fort circuit. Height is interpreted.

Artillery walls

Open broad walls represent the Ottoman lower fort, not Srebrenik near Tuzla or Srebrenica’s medieval upper site.

Interior terrace

Terrace height, steps and small internal partitions are illustrative. The external mapped footprint is stronger evidence.
