Petrovaradin Fortress (Gibraltar on Danube) was finished after 98 years of works in 1780. The idea for its construction came from Marquise Sebastian Voban (a French army leader and architect). Tsar Leopold began work on its construction, but it was finished by tsar Josef, son of empress Maria Teresa. It received its first crew in 1702 (a regiment of Hungarian hussars, light cavalry and units of Serbian hayduks). During the first and the Second World War it was a military garrison and that is what it remained until 1951, when it was turned into a civilian object, used for cultural, artistic and tourist purposes. The Clock Tower (Sahat Kula), a monumental object on the bastion of St. Lui (Ludvig of Baden) dominates the whole military fortress.
