Travel with EasyDayTrip and discover Smederevo Fortress
Serbia

On the shores of Danube and the edges of the city Smederevo, stands proudly the old Smederevo fortress. Built in the 15th century on a major strategic point, the fortress’s main purpose was to be a military stronghold that would defend the city against the Turks. The fortress has a triangular ground plan and is divided in 2 sections - the Small Town or the castle where the nobles lived, and the Big Town where people took refuge from the Turks. It took great efforts to build it and enormous quantities of stone were dragged, not to mention that many workers died of exhaustion while working on the construction. Visitors can explore the castle grounds and enjoy nice views on the Danube River from the fortress’s walls.
