Just a short trip from Belgrade, Smederevo was also once the capital of Serbia. That history is intimately tied to the city’s main attraction, Smederevo fortress. Before the Ottoman occupation, Smederevo Fortress was the capital of Serbia for a few decades in the 15th century. Be sure to stroll along the fortress walls and visit the last remnants of the medieval court, windows that once featured glass all the way from Murano, Venice. To learn more about the city, head over to the City Museum of Smederevo, where there are several floors of medieval architectural fragments and Roman artefacts. Over on Republic Square in the city center you’ll find the curved facade of the City Hall and other old-fashioned architecture.
