Gardoš Tower is a major historical landmark of Zemun, located on Gardoš hill on the right bank of the Danube where Zemun was built. The neighborhood has preserved its narrow, still mostly cobblestoned and quaint houses, and half of the neighborhood is occupied by Zemun's largest graveyard. .. The area has become fashionable place for strolls and leisure activities since the 1990s.
