Smederevo Fortress
The Smederevo fortress during the despot of Djurdj Brankovic was the center of an entire country. And so it had to be on a large surface. 
![87387942_207021447367601_6771796556745015296_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNW2UF4hi9R5qRydECL62Rv5Vd4jJGU1HBcLB3VG8ngPs/87387942_207021447367601_6771796556745015296_n.jpg)
As a large building at that time, masonry lasted from 1428-1439.

Its location at the mouth of the River Jezava on the Danube covers an area of ​​approximately 11 hectares. 
![87377936_2719890388107955_4810736569818284032_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZYzvifUv7Ze2orQxQWaKdCgjSUUvQ69QQGZexLnotbNW/87377936_2719890388107955_4810736569818284032_n.jpg)
The fortress is in the form of an irregular triangle and is divided into two parts. 
![88052717_589344438287818_486313473274281984_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPBTjNofi8wUw7Q1aCLfw8yWihMDjCcnScvxVBjJcZ2fX/88052717_589344438287818_486313473274281984_n.jpg)
A smaller part was used as a court despot while a larger part was used for the people and the lords. 
![87814317_514915485877711_8249439587751952384_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQma2dpt45LSTMRQ6xf4zwjsCtgstyqi2o1d1ESeMswPEUr/87814317_514915485877711_8249439587751952384_n.jpg)
The construction of the Small Town took only two years, which is very small for such work.
![87367480_210283307029892_5762893100938690560_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdL5Wa3bxsPSYkfW1ygfz6srLE7o6g5qPaxFbdC2uh5Pm/87367480_210283307029892_5762893100938690560_n.jpg)
But the workers who built the fort were literally dying of fatigue.
![87761568_499172574320387_7260434419075252224_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXLQygGT336m3qeNijA7oBW2wc2ayN1fcAZPef4aU7rso/87761568_499172574320387_7260434419075252224_n.jpg)
When they built the small town where the despots were staying with family, the second major part of the fort began to burn.
![87832824_527526427878074_5484839392096813056_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeCBGyftETkZQF5DogK8Rjj2K8Ua7L8ANzWBvsA9a2CNE/87832824_527526427878074_5484839392096813056_n.jpg)
Most of it was built around 1439.
![87872268_490687001578495_4076492965466341376_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdxRMLYXYEJVLNUGmNwuDrDtDJ4VUWa6PYVJtYbYwoBSC/87872268_490687001578495_4076492965466341376_n.jpg)
Then 19 towers and a canal were added to merge the two rivers of the Danube and the Dam.
![87503020_616796295769150_5712451308502384640_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfKtV3EKbvxNhJzMgy4Pq3LZ4BJMDGHxWD6KzqCRPMxzh/87503020_616796295769150_5712451308502384640_n.jpg)
So the fort was surrounded by water and it was not easy to conquer.
![87784158_869721483476667_3393145423651667968_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPjHVyQY4qXyqi9QZ6BCduyCbnmiTJosFwQVSR37XeDjV/87784158_869721483476667_3393145423651667968_n.jpg)
The town of Smederevo fell into Turkish hands permanently in 1459, and thus the Serbian medieval state.
![87881233_2804792109612909_447835754622615552_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQAXXBM9TvgxrEYpNCUHL4BcVjF4LEEUwgvQhi6WyTqNK/87881233_2804792109612909_447835754622615552_n.jpg)
Subsequently, the fort was used by various armies and even Hitler's army during the Second World War when the stronghold exploded.
![87397931_1077687442595321_1952236934394806272_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWYWMbbPT1ptwXQTnZrDKwtQi7xscqvnkxiZMQiHGd17Y/87397931_1077687442595321_1952236934394806272_n.jpg)
he fort itself suffered minor damage while the rest of the Smederevo within a few kilometers of the fort was flattened.
![87576557_869138950189472_8608300855705206784_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV4s5vBmXJGM3ShH2Lnu6zhHSRWKaTb2xaf1RmfKAY7JR/87576557_869138950189472_8608300855705206784_n.jpg)
Today, the walls are being rebuilt and the fort is open to all visitors.
