Gradište (Serbian Cyrillic: Градиште), also known as Podgrađe (Serbian Cyrillic: Подграђе) or Pogragja (Albanian: Pogragjë, Kalaja e Pogragjës) and Kaljaja (Serbian Cyrillic: Каљаја, Albanian: Каlаја), is a fortress located near village of Podgrađe, 10 kilometers south-east of Gjilan. It was built on a hill overlooking the confluence of a stream in Binačka Morava, and dates back to 14th century. It is designated as Protected Archaeological Site, under protection of Republic of Serbia from 20 December 1956.

The fortress is situated on a hill that rises about 50 meters above the river valley. It consists of the Lower Town, surrounded by walls and a more preserved citadel (Upper Town) at the top of the hill.
