Gardoš Tower

The Gardoš Tower (Serbian Cyrillic), also known as Millennium Tower (Serbian Cyrillic) or Tower of John Hunyadi (Serbian Cyrillic, The Tower of John Hunyadi) is a memorial tower located in Zemun, city of Belgrade, Serbia. It was built and officially opened on 20 August 1896 to celebrate a thousand years of Hungarian settlement in the Pannonian plain. The Millennium project included seven monuments in total all over the Hungarian part of Austro-Hungary, with Gardoš Tower being the southernmost; the others were at Budapest, Brassó (now Brașov in Romania), Dévény (Devín in Slovakia), Munkács (Mukachevo in Ukraine), Nyitra (Nitra in Slovakia), and Szeged. They were all different, including obelisks and columns. As part of Old Core of Zemun, and also located in the middle of the Zemun Fortress, tower is protected both as Spatial Cultural-Historical Unit of Great Importance, and as a Protected Monument of Culture. Though today usually considered by the Belgraders as part of the old Gardoš Fortress, on which remains it was built, the tower is some 5 centuries younger than the fortress.
