Linked by the Danube, explore Gardoš Tower on one bank and Ram Fortress on the other. Discover the legends, mysteries and rich history of this Serbian region, home to some of its oldest surviving military fortifications. Ram was raised by the Ottomans at the end of the fifteenth century as a compact artillery fort, its rounded towers and low, thick walls designed for the age of gunpowder — among the earliest such structures on the river. Downstream in Zemun, Gardoš Tower crowns a hill above the old quarter, built in 1896 to mark a thousand years of Hungarian settlement. Together they frame one of the Danube's most cinematic stretches.
