If you have any interest in medieval history or one to spark the interest in someone young, A visit to the old town is worth far more than the couple euros of admission. For me, even walking through the entryway, the old portcullis, was tinged with excitement. Through the entryway, the space opens up and takes you to the official entry on the left to the old town and what is, essentially, an outdoor medieval museum consisting of the remnants of the fortress and included exhibits. Having visited many such sites in other European countries, What sets this one apart is the extent to which it is unstructured an unmarked allowing you to freely wander through the available structures. One word of advice: if it is near the end of the day and they are closing down, make sure you leave before you get locked in as the three of us did, leaving us to have to scale a wall and perform some nimble gymnastics in order to escape The old fortress.

Part of the commemorative intention of this monument is to memorialize the Yugoslav airmen as the four concrete wing-like shapes central to the memorial sculpture are directly intended to represent the wings of soaring aircraft.
