Smederevo Fortress

Observing the completely peaceful landscape of Smederevo, it is hard to believe that spears were broken between two medieval empires in this place a few hundred years ago. Built in the 15th century on the initiative of the Serbian despot Đurađ Branković, the Smederevo Fortress is the last large building of Serbian military architecture. Located in the then capital of Serbia, the fortress soon became the scene of many Serbian-Turkish conflicts. The magnificent edifice of the Smederevo Fortress still conveys numerous legends about defeats and victories to those who are willing to listen to its call.
