MAGLIC

MaglicThe 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.
