Petrovaradin Fortress

The Petrovaradin Fortress, located on the Danube River in Novi Sad, was formerly a defensive fortress erected in the 18th century. The castle, famous for its network of underground tunnels, played an important role throughout the Austro-Turkish wars. The Reversed Clock Tower is one of the city's most recognizable sights, with the larger hand indicating hours and the smaller hand indicating minutes, as opposed to the traditional clock system. It is constructed in this manner for fisherman who can observe the time from a distance. Although the Petrovaradin Fortress has been extensively restored, much of its original architecture remains. The stronghold also serves as the location for the annual EXIT festival, which has featured some of the greatest stars in the music business such as Guns N' Roses, Snoop Dogg, Fatboy Slim, and The Prodigy.
