%X Petrovaradin Fortress belongs into the category of unique cultural and historical objects of fortification engineering. According to the Detailed Urban Plan of the Petrovaradin Fortress and the General Urban Plan of Novi Sad, the priorities in the use of this area should contain cultural, tourist and catering facilities, with a goal of the Fortress becoming a venue and a center of cultural tourism in the region. The Fortress consists of several spatial entities, where the Lower Town, with its unique baroque edifice, is an entity that should entirely be developed for tourist and catering facilities. This paper deals with the aspect of tourism development of the Lower Town by the way of its planning, using and managing, and it also lists the temporary problems. The aim of this paper is to show the potentials of this area in the development of cultural and tourist attractions, thanks to its cultural and historical heritage, as well as to present the possible solutions for the tourist catering development of this area. The paper proposes a possible tourist decoration and furnishing of the space with the necessary urban equipment, opening of new museums and galleries, as well as converting the objects from housing facilities to the catering, craftsman or commercial function.
