Smederevo Fortress
Smederevo Fortress is a large 15th-century fortified city built on the right bank of the Danube near the confluence with the Jezava. Erected between 1427 and 1439 for Despot Đurađ Branković, it comprises long crenelated curtain walls with numerous square towers, an inner city with a palace and audience hall, and a fortified suburb with a church. The complex later served Ottoman and Habsburg administrations and today survives as a partly ruined historic fortification and city park.

As it stood in 1439
The shape it held in its prime.
A triangular, water-encircled fortress set on the Danube bank, defined by about 1.5 km of thick, light-coloured stone curtain walls punctuated by roughly 25 square, 25-metre towers. The Danube side shows continuous low walls and revetments with evenly spaced crenellations; high in the river-facing wall are four sets of double-arched windows. Inside the walls lies a compact inner city of stone buildings and a palace block; an outer fortified suburb sits between the walls and the redirected Jezava.
