Golubac
Golubac Fortress is a medieval fortified town on the south bank of the Danube at the entrance to the Iron Gate gorge in north-eastern Serbia. The stone complex is built on a rocky riverbank and consists of multiple compounds, thick curtain walls, and a series of towers and gateworks that controlled river traffic. It has seen repeated modification and occupation from the Middle Ages into the Ottoman period and is a restored tourist site today.

As it stood in 1458
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact stone fortress clinging to a rocky Danube riverbank, arranged as three compounds linked by thick curtain walls. The silhouette shows a string of roughly ten towers — a mix of square and round plans — some topped by conical wooden roofs and others as tall cylindrical keeps; towers are separated rather than fully joined. The masonry is light-grey limestone and brick-stone mixes, with crenellated battlements, stair lines up the slope, a lower forward wall/river bastion, and a protected gateway facing the river.
