Vršački zamak / kula - Vršac, Srbija

Vršačka kula, simbol ne samo grada već i cele okoline, sazidana je 1439 godine i veruje se da ju je podigao Đurađ Smederevac posle pada Smedereva sa ciljem da zaštiti svoje posede na prostoru današnje Vojvodine. Od celog utvrđenja najočuvanija je Donžon kula, visine 20m, koja je danas u potpunosti restaurirana. Visina spoljnih zidova iznosi 19,85 m, a strane su široke 13,80 m i 11 m. Karlovačkim mirom 1701. godine je počelo rušenje kule, tako da se više nije mogla koristiti u vojne svrhe. Dosadašnjim istraživanjima konstatovani su bedemi i ostaci kružne kule. Vršac Castle formerly known as “Vršac Tower“ is a medieval fortress near Vršac, Vojvodina, Serbia. Only Donjon tower remained from the entire complex, but in 2009 reconstruction started, to recreate the entire Vršac Castle. There are two theories about the origin of this fortress. According to the Turkish traveler, Evliya Çelebi, the fortress was built by the Serbian despot Đurađ Branković. Historians consider that Branković built the fortress after the fall of Smederevo in 1439. In its construction the fortress had some architectural elements similar to those in the fortress of Smederevo and the fortress around the Manasija monastery.
