Skull Tower
Skull Tower (Ćele kula) is a freestanding stone memorial in Niš, Serbia, whose walls were embedded with the skulls of fallen Serbian fighters after the 1809 Battle of Čegar. The masonry structure stands about 4.5 metres high and originally displayed hundreds of skulls set into its four faces. It later became enclosed by a chapel, conserved and visited as a historic monument.

As it stood in 1809
What Skull Tower looked like in its prime.
A squat, four-sided masonry tower roughly 4.5 metres tall built of sand and pale limestone, its vertical faces pierced by regularly spaced human skulls set flush into the mortar in multiple horizontal rows. In its original appearance the skulls form a grid across each face, their bleached bone tones contrasting with the warm beige of the stone. The tower rises directly from packed earth beside a road, simple and compact in silhouette with a flat masonry crown.
