Petrovaradin Fortress, nicknamed "Gibraltar on the Danube" is a fortress in the town of Petrovaradin, itself part of the City of Novi Sad. It is located on the right bank of the Danube river. The fortress was a significant military fort of the Austrian rulers who, at the time of Napoleon’s conquests, hid their treasures here. Today it is city’s art center, home to Exit festival and place which mysterious underground keeps intriguing explorers from around the world. The clock tower, with its hands reversed so fishermen could better see the hour, is one of Novi Sad's major landmarks.
Thanks a lot Milica!
