Soko Grad, Medieval fortress in Sokobanja, Serbia
The fortress consists of defensive walls, gates, and three towers positioned on a hilltop, offering views across the surrounding Serbian countryside point.
Emperor Justinian I established this fortification during the 6th century to protect the Balkan peninsula from Pannonian Avars and Slavs invasions.
The name of the fortress translates to Falcon City, as local falconers paid their taxes with trained birds during medieval times.
Visitors can reach the fortress by following a marked path starting from the eastern part of Sokobanja, leading through forest terrain.
The fortress walls contain a single preserved entrance tower in the upper section, while other defensive structures remain in various states of decay.
