Smederevo fortress makes a strong and ambiguous impression. This is not a tourist complex restored to a high gloss, but a real monument breathing history. She exudes power, but also sadness because of her difficult fate. It is the largest plain fortress in Europe. Its size (11 hectares) is really impressive. A walk through the gigantic territory inside the walls, along the ramparts gives a sense of grandeur. There is almost no modern infrastructure here, which allows you to feel the spirit of the past. You see the walls as they were hundreds of years ago, with all the scars of history. A rich history. Founded in the 15th century as the capital of the Serbian despotate, the fortress survived the Ottomans and Austrians, and was severely damaged during World War II. Every stone here is a witness to history. Beautiful view of the Danube. The fortress walls offer a picturesque panorama of the confluence of the Danube and Velika Morava rivers. It's a great place to take photos, especially at sunset.
