Golubac, Medieval fortress town on the Danube River, Serbia.

The town extends along the Danube River bank, featuring stone buildings and narrow streets that lead to the medieval fortress complex.

The settlement evolved from a Roman outpost named Cuppae into a strategic stronghold, changing control between Hungarian and Ottoman forces until 1868.

The population of Golubac includes Serbian and Vlach communities, each maintaining their traditional customs, languages, and celebrations throughout the year.

Visitors can reach Golubac by following the Djerdap Highway along the Danube, with regular bus connections from Belgrade running several times daily.

The town sits at the entrance of the Iron Gates gorge, where the Danube reaches its maximum width of 6.5 kilometers.
