Smederevo, Medieval fortress in Smederevo, Serbia
Smederevo Fortress extends over 11 hectares along the Danube River, featuring thick stone walls and 25 towers arranged in a triangular layout.
The fortress served as the capital of medieval Serbia from 1430 to 1459, when the Ottoman Empire captured it during their conquest of the Balkans.
The Smederevo Grape Festival takes place annually near the fortress, gathering thousands of visitors who celebrate the regional wine production traditions.
Smederevo lies 45 kilometers southeast of Belgrade, with regular train and bus connections making it suitable for day trips from the capital.
The 1941 ammunition explosion in the fortress caused extensive damage to the structure and resulted in the deaths of 2,000 local residents.
