The Vushtrri Castle (Albanian: Kalaja e Vushtrrisë; Serbian: Војиновића Кула) or Old Tower (Albanian: Kulla e Vjetër; Serbian: Vojinovića Kula) are city fortifications in Vushtrri, Kosovo. It was the seat of despot Đurađ Branković (1427–1456). Later chroniclers (Ami Boué, Aleksandar Giljferding) are noted that the fort itself is derived from the times of Dušan, and that it is an old fortress with a tower in the middle of the town.
