The renovation is still in progress, but the fortress can still be visited and recommended. Some parts have already been completely restored and you can get a nice overview of the building.

At the entrance to Kladovo, next to the Danube, stands the medieval fortress of Fetislam. It consists of two fortifications, the Great Town and the Small Town, built at different times.
The smaller town, a castle-like structure, was built in 1524 by the military commander Bali-Bey as the primary military stronghold for Suleiman the Magnificent's conquest of Europe. At that time, the fortress was called Fetislam, which comes from the Turkish words Fetih ûl - Islam, meaning "Conquest of Islam." It consists of an upper and coastal section, with total dimensions of 90 x 60 m.
