Description

PLEASE, no multi invitations, glitters or self promotion in your comments, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE for anyone to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks - NONE OF MY PICTURES ARE HDR.

The minute and hour hand on the clock tower are reversed, with the small hand showing minutes, and the big hand showing hours. It was created as such so that fishermen on the Danube river can see the time from a long distance. The "Reversed clock" as it is known, is one of the landmarks of Petrovaradin Fortress and Novi Sad.

Petrovaradin Fortress is a fortress in Novi Sad, on the right bank of the Danube river. The cornerstone of the present-day southern part of the fortress was laid on October 18, 1692. Petrovaradin Fortress has many underground tunnels as well (16 km of underground countermine system).
