Driving through Golubac Fortress, Serbia - Djerdapska Klisura National Park.
Golubac Fortress (Golubački grad) is medieval fortified town on the south side of the Danube River, 4 km downstream from the small town of Golubac, Serbia. The castle, which was most likely built during the 13th century, is split into three compounds which were built in stages. It has ten towers. It is also unclear whether the Medieval fortress was built by Bulgarians, Serbs or Hungarians.
Golubac Fortress has had a tumultuous history. Prior to its construction it was the site of a Roman settlement (Cuppae). During the Middle Ages, it became the object of many battles, especially between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary. It changed hands repeatedly, passing between Turks, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Serbs, and Austrians, until 1867, when it was turned over to the Serbian Knez, Mihailo Obrenović III. Now, it is a popular tourist attraction in the region and a sightseeing point on Danube boat tours.
