  • Karađorđe’s Gate takes its name from Karađorđe Petrović, the famous leader of the First Serbian Uprising, which lasted from 1804 to 1813. It was named in memory of Karađorđe’s arrival at the fortress with the Serbian Uprising Army at the beginning of 1807.
  • Karađorđe’s Gate went unused for a long time. As early as the end of the 18th century, blueprints show it without the bridge and closed.
  • It was reopened during restoration works after World War Two, when the wooden bridge was rebuilt.
