Prizren Fortress, also called “Kalaja”, sits strategically on a hilltop above the river – and is another structure in Prizren recognized as a Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance. While some evidence suggests that part of the fortress could date to the 6th century, it is known that it was either built or expanded on between 1331 and 1355. Currently, it is being renovated, however, it is still open (24 hours a day, actually) and is free to visit. Take in the views from the various points. Look out over the city and count the number of minarets that pierce the sky. Look down to the left and peer at what remains of the Church of Holy Savior. If timing allows, stick around – or make a return trip later – for sunset.
