Petrovaradin fortress clock tower is famous for having clock hands sized just the opposite of the regular clocks. The hour hand is longer to be more visible to barge crews on the Danube river below the fortress.
Continuing the Novi Sad series of previous post, here is my new contribution to there is beauty in the city project: a beauty in Novi Sad, Serbia. Thanks to Glen, this little report was all over Facebook almost before I clicked send button in my e-mail.
One of the Novi Sad’s main points of interest is the Petrovaradin Fortress (Serbian: Петроварадинска тврђава or Petrovaradinska tvrđava, Hungarian: Péterváradi vár, German: Peterwardein) is a fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia. It is located in the province of Vojvodina, on the right bank of the Danube river. The cornerstone of the present-day southern part of the fortress was laid on October 18, 1692, by Charles Eugène de Croÿ. Petrovaradin Fortress has many underground tunnels as well (16 km of underground countermine system).
In 1991 Petrovaradin Fortress was added to Spatial Cultural-Historical Units of Great Importance list, and it is protected by Republic of Serbia.
