Karađorđe's Mulberry

Karađorđe's Mulberry is a protected natural monument near Smederevo marked with a commemorative tablet. The site sits within the Serbian countryside and represents how a single tree can be connected to important historical events.

The tree is connected to Karađorđe Petrović, who led the First Serbian Uprising against Ottoman rule between 1804 and 1813. Its existence through this transformative period makes it a living witness to an important chapter in regional history.

The tree connects to local stories about independence and resistance that remain part of how the region understands itself. Visitors come to the site to acknowledge these narratives and see how a simple plant holds meaning for the community.

The site is located in a rural area and benefits from basic navigation tools or a map to find. Daytime visits work best for seeing the tree and exploring the surrounding landscape around the monument.

The tree has survived for centuries and shows its age through the marks and character visible on its trunk. Visitors can see firsthand how an organism this old has endured and how it has outlasted the changes around it.
