From the former fortification only four quadruple citadels were preserved, in the center of which was built in 1896, Millennium Tower, today more famous as the Sibinjanin Janka Tower.

The Gardoš Tower is one of the four Millennium Towers built by the Hungarian authorities in all four corners of the world, in the farthest cities of the kingdom, and is the only such preserved monument that has remained in the territory of other states, except in Hungary.
Today, as a cultural and historical monument of special significance, Kula Gardoš is increasingly becoming one of the more visited tourist destinations of Zemun and Belgrade, where the visitors have at their disposal a studio and gallery Čubrilo, a permanent setting dedicated to the image of Milutin Milanković in the form of three-dimensional models and software on his life and work and going to the 360-degree tower overlooking the tower, provides a magnificent view of the Danube, Zemun, Belgrade and their surroundings.
