Minčeta Fort
Minčeta Fortress dominates the highest north-western part of the City. It is a large circular tower with a massive battlement suspended by stone supports. The first, smaller, quadrangular tower was constructed by Nikifor Ranjina in 1319. The Florentine architect Michelozzo Michelozzi gave the monumental present time form to the Fort, which was completed in 1464 according to the design of the renowned Renaissance builder Juraj Dalmatinac.
