The Belgrade Fortress is the oldest preserved monumental complex in Belgrade. It is only partly preserved, namely preserved are only the parts built in 18th century over the old fortress. The new fortress was designed by the military engineer Nocola Doxat de Morez who used Voban's fortification concepts. The present looks of the fortress originate from the Turkish rule, at end of 18th century. The Turks called this part of the city "fecir bajir" which means "the hill for thinking", while a part of the complex was called Kalemegdan, a bare city space. Only when the fortress was given to Princ Mihailo, the planting of trees begun. Many monuments, mostly to writers and artists are situated in the present park. There are two museums in the fortress, as well. The Nature Study Museum Gallery and the Military Museum founded in 1878 and situated on the plateau above the West Bastion.
Sahat kula (Clock Tower) and Sahat kapija (Clock Gate) were built in 18th century, during the Austrian occupation. They lean upon the medieval wall of the uptown. Big or Roman Well was reconstructed to the present appearance during the Austrian rule. Its diameter is 3,5 meters. It was reconstructed using bricks according to the plans by Engineer Nicola Doxat.
