Užice, Medieval fortress city in Western Serbia

The city extends along both banks of the Đetinja River, featuring prominent architectural landmarks including Hotel Zlatibor and the remains of a hilltop fortress.

The settlement transformed from a Roman municipium called Capedunum in 168 BC to an Ottoman administrative center, marking significant territorial changes throughout centuries.

The National Museum of Užice exhibits regional artifacts, while the Yugoslav Theater Festival brings together performers from neighboring countries each year.

Regular train connections operate between Belgrade and Užice, with journey times of approximately three hours on the main railway line through Serbia.

The city established the first hydroelectric power plant in Serbia in 1900, initiating industrial development throughout the western region.
