Description: 
Golubac is located on the Danube River, but it resembles a town at the seaside. It’s no wonder, since the Danube, near this town, is even six kilometres wide. It is placed on the Belgrade-Kladovo road and is 130 km away from the capital. It is best known for its fortress – Golubački Grad, situated on the inaccessible cliffs over the Danube. It was built in the 14th century in order to control both sailing on the river and the hinderland, and Stefan Lazarević was its ruler. History says that Duke Jeremija sold it to the Turks at the price of 12.000 ducats. It has got nine towers with the highest one located on the highest hill. The Golubac fortress is protected and declared a cultural property of utmost importance.
