MAGLIC
The medieval fortress of Maglic is located 16 km south of Kraljevo in
the Ibar gorge. Its ramparts and towers are very well preserved and
impressive even today. Maglic is one of the finest monuments of the medieval
Serbian military architecture. It was a stronghold intended for the defense
of the monasteries of Zica and Studenica. Early in the 14th
century, Maglic was the residence of a Archbishop Danilo, an important
figure in Serbian history and well-known biographer of the early Serbian
rulers. Of the many structures that once stood in the fortress, only the
ruins of Danilo's palace and remains of a church can be seen today. |
