The skull tower is worth a visit, especially if you have researched the history prior to going. It is housed on its original site in an unassuming chapel that was built to provide protection to the tower; and peace to those interred in it. Entry is 150 dinars or 200 dinars to see both the Skull tower, Crveni Krst Concentration Camp and the Archeological Hall. A guide will take you into the church and tell you the compelling story of Sinđelić and Pasha that resulted in this grisly warning tower. You are no longer allowed to take photos inside the chapel and only 6% of the skulls are left from the original.Alphonse de Lamartine wrote of the tower upon visiting Niš in the 1830s: I saw a large tower rising in the midst of the plain, as white as Parisian marble... Raising my eyes to the monument, I discovered that the walls, which I supposed to be built of marble or white stone, were composed of regular rows of human skulls; these skulls bleached by the rain and sun, and cemented by a little sand and lime, formed entirely the triumphal arch which now sheltered me from the heat of the sun. In some places portions of hair were still hanging and waved, like lichen or moss, with every breath of wind. The mountain breeze, which was then blowing fresh, penetrated the innumerable cavities of the skulls, and sounded like mournful and plaintive sighs.

When we were here, there was a guide who told us the story of the place and answered questions about the tower itself. It is as the photos show, human skulls cemented in the walls of a small tower built for no other purpose but to intimidate the Serbs and take revenge on them for causing great losses to the Turkish army.

After 270 years of prison one nation decided to be free or to die.In the ensuing battle, the Serbs were 10 times less than the Turks. When the Serbian leader Stevan Sindjelic realized that the Serbs are in a hopeless situation, he decided not to surrender to the enemy and set fire to the warehouse of ammunition. From the mighty detonation half of the hill where the battle was exploded. On the battlefield all Serbs and Turks died. In sign of revenge the Turks are, to all dead Serbs cut off the head and bricked up in this monument.This is a unique monument in the world that shows the desire for freedom and at the same time hate and the impotence of the invaders.

The "tower" is inside a chapel built to protect it. It was built entirely out od skulls of Serbs, the Turksh opponents as an example and proof od power. There were 952 skulls but most of them are stolen. It is a small place but it left a huge impression. Someone would say 'morbid'; I say 'fascinating'.

Monument to the cruelty of Turkish soldiers, made of severed heads of Serbian soldiers who lost their lives in the Battle of Cegar, located in Nis. Not at all does not look nice view of the skull of which is walled tower, but a precious monument of Serbian history.

We had a good guide that told the historic events arount that tower in very interesting way. It is one of the TOP 3 sights in Nis. It gives you information about the history of the Balkans.To walk there from the center takes about 40 minutes. But there is a bus (5 minutes).

Skull Tower is definitely a must-see. This place gives a very nice show with a story about how and what happened.

Unless you are a Serb or Yugoslavian national, you will find this attraction non impressive. It has a very gruesome story. But it is difficult for others to relate to.The Skull tower, as it is called, is a very small structure.59 skulls cemented in a structure. These skulls are of Serb soldiers which were killed in Turkish war and Turkish commander skinned the heads and kept the skulls in a cemented structure with Serb commander's skull on the top.See if you want to visit it

In 1809, during the Battle of Čegar and just as the Ottoman victors were to start to impale them the Serbs they blew up the powder magazine and took 952 Serbs and Ottoman to their maker. The Grand Vizier of Niš ordered that a tower made from the skulls of the dead be erected to serve as an example.After Serbian recapture of Niš in 1878, the tower was roofed and soon a chapel was built around it. Today, 54 skulls remain behind a glass wall. It's worth the few dinar that you pay to see this historic, heroic and gruesome sight.It's also near the central bus station for convenience.
