Kovin Fortress, Medieval fortress in Džurovo, Serbia.

The fortress sits on a steep rock at 698 meters altitude, with its donjon tower positioned on the highest terrace overlooking the Lim river gorge.

The first written records of Kovin Fortress date from 1448 and 1454, when it served as a border fortification under the control of Stjepan Vukčić Kosača.

The fortress complex includes ancient and medieval necropolises located 500 meters south, revealing the historical layers of human settlements in this region.

Visitors can access the fortress ruins and explore multiple terraces connected by carved stone staircases that lead toward the river below.

Near the fortress, archaeologists discovered traces of the Vinča culture, indicating human presence in this location since the Neolithic period.
