Карађорђева, Historical museum complex in Topola, Serbia.
The Karađorđe complex encompasses a restored fortress with stone buildings, a defensive tower, Orthodox church, and museum displays showcasing artifacts from the First Serbian Uprising period.
Built between 1811 and 1813 by Karađorđe Petrović, leader of the First Serbian Uprising, the complex was destroyed by Ottoman forces in 1813 but later reconstructed in the late 19th century.
The complex preserves the legacy of the Karađorđević dynasty and serves as a symbol of Serbian national identity, housing original weapons, personal belongings, and a memorial church.
Visitors can explore the museum exhibits, attend religious services in the church, and access guided tours that explain the historical significance of each building within the complex.
The complex features a cannon known as 'aberdar' whose missing right handle was melted down to create the coronation regalia for King Peter I Karađorđević.
