Gardos Tower

Gardos Tower
About

Gardoš Tower, also known as the Millennium Tower, rises above the Zemun district of Belgrade as a striking symbol of history and resilience. Built in 1896 to commemorate 1,000 years of Hungarian settlement in the Pannonian Plain, it blends Romanesque and Romantic architectural styles and stands on the remnants of the medieval Zemun Fortress. At 36 meters tall, the tower once served as a fire lookout and now offers panoramic views of the Danube and old Zemun. After decades of neglect, it was restored in the early 2000s and transformed into a cultural venue hosting art exhibitions and events. The tower’s original decorative elements, including a lion sculpture and ornate ironwork, have been carefully reconstructed using archival plans. Today, Gardoš Tower is a beloved landmark, drawing visitors to its cobbled surroundings and offering a unique vantage point over Belgrade’s layered past. Its enduring presence makes it a must-see for those seeking both history and atmosphere.
