Serbia is rich with numerous top archaeological sites. Among them is the oldest human settlement Lepenski Vir, 10000 years old. In addition to spectacular discoveries in this prehistoric site, there are many Roman and Byzantine cultural monuments. The Smederevo Fortress, Viminacium, Golubac Fortress, Monasteries, Trajan’s Board and many other unique sites. Throughout the ages, Serbia was home to many ancient civilizations. Each and every of them has left a significant mark which lasted for millenniums, for new generations to witness.

Smederevo Fortress

Our tour starts at one of the most famous medieval fortresses in Serbia, in the small town of Smederevo. The legend says that the fortress was built at such a pace that its builders died of exhaustion. The people blamed the despotic Jerina (Irina Kantakuzin) and called her ” The Damn Jerina”. History in this place is still alive. The tomb of a medieval nobleman and his jewelry was dug up in 2012. Because of this, and due to the fact that the works are still in progress, this is a place that all archeologists and historians must visit.

And once you’re here … who knows … you might find the legendary treasure of “The Damn Jerina”!
