The role of the main fortress Veliki Petrič (or Velika Kaleja) and a smaller fortress Mali Petrič (or Mala Kaleja) was to protect the court of the King of Serbia in Nerodimlja. Location and construction Two fortresses were built on two adjacent hills of the southern slopes of Crnoljeva mountain, above the king's court Nerodimlje and also above the confluence of two streams (Mala Reka and Golema Reka) that form Nerodimka river, west of the modern day town Urosevac in Kosovo.
