The remains of the Old Town lie on the rocky cliff, which separates the river bed of the Djetinja at the place where it flows out of the gorge into the tame valley. The fortification was built on a high cliff, rather difficult to access, which is surrounded by the river Djetinja on all three sides. To the west, south and east steep cliffs, up to 50 m high, as well as strong natural ramparts, descend to the river<\/p>\n
The town was possible to approach only from the north, from the ridge towards the adjoining elevation, but even there the vertical slopes defended the entrance to the highest part of the elevation, making it impregnable. The road, linking Bosnia to Serbia, could be monitored and defended from the fortress. Over the centuries, the position of the town caused admiration among the travellers and unexpected guests passing by its ramparts.<\/p>\n

The first reliable sources about the fortress of Uzice date back to the middle of the 14th century. Then it was the property of the feudal family Vojinovic, and from 1366. to 1373. it belonged to Nikola Altomanovic. Ahistorian from Dubrovnik Mavro Obrini mentions Uzice in his description of the events about the conflict of the prince Lazar and king Tvrtko with Nikola Altomanovic, who was captured, imprisoned and made blind in the fortress on that occasion, in the summer of 1373.<\/p>\n

The geographic position and its strategic influence affected the look of the fortress. In its upper part it had a semi-circular tower, in the middle part objects for hosting the military regiments, equipment and food supplies, and in the lower, the so called Watery tower it was linked to the river. Several times the fortress was destroyed and fortified anew. Significan enlargements and fortifications were made in 1478, then during the Austrian-Turkish wars in 1688. and in the period from 1737-1839. Finally, during the First Serbian Insurrection and soon after the Second Serbian Insurrection, from 1813-1819. At last, being the military object, it was made useless and ruined in January 1863, at the time of driving the Turks out of Uzice.<\/p>\n
Owing to the archeological explorations, partial reconstruction and conservation work by the Heritage Authority from Kraljevo and the National Museum from Uzice lasting from 1973-1984, a century long erosion and disappearance of the Old Town was stopped.<\/p>\n
In 2019, the detailed reconstruction and conservation of the Old Town began, which is carried out in several stages. So far, the upper, middle and lower town have been completed, a tower and a casemate have been built.<\/p>\n
