Kruševac, Medieval fortress and religious center in central Serbia
The city stands in the valley of West Morava along the Rasina River, with ancient monasteries and historical structures surrounding the urban center.
Prince Lazar founded Kruševac in 1371, establishing it as the capital of medieval Serbia until the Ottoman conquest in the early 15th century.
The National Museum in Kruševac exhibits artifacts spanning 6000 years of history, from Neolithic findings to 20th-century collections in a Neoclassical building.
The city functions as an industrial hub with free economic zones, accommodating major companies like Trayal Corporation and Cooper Tire & Rubber Company Serbia.
The 14th-century Lazarica Church features distinctive Morava architectural style with trefoil design, ornate stone carvings, and a central Byzantine dome.
