The Tower With the Cross

in #photography5 years ago

Our @pixelfan is considering to terminate his contribution to the #lookingup challenge, which would be a real shame. I will try to persuade him not to do it, sending a bit of story with one of my looking up pics…



The Citadel tower of the ancient Smederevo Fortress is not keeping secrets. It is actually exposing the truth which Imperial conquerors crossing over Balkans were always trying to hide. It tells the story you have to know…

It is a part of the so called, Small Fort, Smederevo Castle and the Court of Despot Đurađ Branković, the last ruler of the medieval Serbian state, which Ottomans have finally conquered in 1459.

This fantastic medieval fortification still evokes admiration, and is a perfect historical stage for the events like World Championship “BATTLE OF THE NATIONS 2019” — Medieval Knight Tournament which you can watch here:

Main Arena, Fourth Day
