RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The naming process of the pub involved a comprehensive research of Tvrđa’s history, with an emphasis on its development, urban planning, architecture, content, and culture. The research helped form the belief that the name of the pub (or any other part of Tvrđa) should remain associated with the historical identity of the place. Therefore, the name Merlon (parapet) was selected. In the defense architecture, the name means solid, upright fences designed to protect the observers and the military at the top of the fort.
