Why Prizren Fortress matters

Climb the steps from the old town and you reach the ramparts of an old fortress. From the top you look down over the red roofs, minarets and bridges and the mountains beyond. Come near sunset, when the town glows. The walls are partly ruined, so watch your step.

Talking points

  • The view covers roofs, minarets and the river.
  • A steep path leads up from the old town.
  • Sunset is the best time.
