Golubac Fortress

According to recent discoveries, the Golubac Fortress, which was erected by the Medieval Serbian state around the 14th century, is divided into three compounds that were created in phases. It contains eleven towers, the majority of which began square and some of which got multi-sided reinforcements with the introduction of weapons. Towers were not linked to make defense easier. Inside the stronghold, there were also Serbian Medieval frescoes.

The history of Golubac Fortress has been turbulent. It was the location of a Roman colony prior to its construction. Throughout the Middle Ages, it was the site of several wars, particularly between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary. It passed through the hands of Turks, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Serbs, and Austrians until 1867, when it was handed up to the Serbian Knez, Mihailo Obrenovi III. It is now a major tourist attraction in the region and a stop on Danube boat trips.
