No one knows exactly who and when they began to build the fortress on Danube, but it was first mentioned in writings dating from the thirteenth century as a Hungarian facility. It is therefore characterized as a medieval fortress building. Golubac fortress has a turbulent history, since there were many battlefields and often envied it and losing the powerful force that led to the wars in this region. Prince Lazar was trying to conquer this building mostly without success, but in the - early fifteenth century, however, it came in the Serbian property. After the death of despot Stefan, the Turks advanced in their conquest in the territory of Hungary, and won the Golubac fortress and kept it in their possession until the early nineteenth century.
There is an interesting legend that explains the name of this fortress on the Danube. According to the folk tale, in the city lived a beautiful girl called Golubana. About her beauty was widely heard, so Turkish pasha wanted her for himself. However, beautiful Golubana did not accept his courtship gestures and persistently refused him. Pasha ordered the Golubana to be fine, so the girl to be tied to a rock above the Danube. Birds mutilated her body, and she died. The memory of her and her beauty and the sad fate of the rest of the people, and the place where she lived, received its name Golubac. There is another legend that says that in the imposing building lived a princess Helena who breed pigeons to alleviate the sadness and loneliness.

Discover Serbia - The Medieval Golubac Fortress
In Serbian, the town is known as Golubac (Голубац), derived from golub (pigeon or dove) and is therefore often translated as the town of doves. Other names: Romanian: Golubăţ (also known as Golumbacu Mare or Columbacu), Hungarian: Galambóc, German: Taubenberg and Turkish: Güvercinlik meaning dovecote.
Historically, it was known as Columbria in Latin, a contraction of (castrum) Columbaria meaning city of pigeons (Latin: Columba, Greek: kòlymbos), and as a city derived from Cuppae during pre-Roman times.
It was a stronghold called Cuppae during Roman and Early Byzantine times (1-6th century) and turned into a city (Columbria) in 554/5 AD.[3]
Archeological sites include the remnants of one of Roman Emperor Trajan's tables near Trajan's Bridge, found along his road through the Danube's Iron Gates; and the Roman fortress Diana. Golubac fortress, 4 km downstream, is from the 14th century and also of interest. The fortress was the scene of a battle against the Turks in 1428, where the Polish knight Zawisza Czarny was captured and executed by the Turks.

Poseti Srbiju -Srednjovekovno utvrđenje Golubac
Golubački grad ili Golubac je srednjovekovna tvrđava, spomenik kulture od izuzetnog značaja.[1] Nalazi se u Nacionalnom parku Đerdap, na desnoj obali Dunava, 4 km nizvodno od današnjeg naselja. Smeštena je na visokim liticama, na mestu na kom se reka sužava, na samom ulazu u Đerdapsku klisuru.[2][3]
Tvrđava je građena lepezasto i sastoji se od tri dela: prednjeg, zadnjeg i gornjeg grada (sa citadelom). Čini ga ukupno 10 kula i dve velike kolske kapije. Ispred tvrđave je bilo civilno naselje, o čemu danas svedoče samo neki delimično istraženi objekti.
Golubac je imao burnu istoriju. Tokom srednjeg veka, vodile su se mnoge bitke oko njega, naročito između Osmanskog carstva i kraljevine Ugarske. 1867. godine, turska posada je napustila Golubački grad, koji je predat srpskom knezu Mihailu Obrenoviću. U savremeno doba Golubac je popularna turistička atrakcija na Dunavu. Tokom 2012. godine je započet projekat revitalizacije tvrđave u okviru kojeg je izgrađena obilaznica i tunel, a do kraja 2017. se prvobitno očekivala kompletna obnova.[4]
Golubačkom tvrđavom upravlja Javno preduzeće „Golubački grad-tvrđava”. Tvrđava je potpuno obnovljena i svečano otvorena 29. marta 2019. godine.
Tvrdjava Ram - Visit Serbia (Тврђава Рам)
Tvrdjava Ram - Visit Serbia (Тврђава Рам)
Slikovita srednjovekovna Ramska tvrđava sagrađena je 1483. godine po nalogu sultana Bajazita II – dede Sulejmana Veličanstvenog. Iz ovog perioda potiče legenda, po kojoj je sultan Bajazit II, obilazeći svoje vojnike, zastao da se odmori na brežuljku sa koga se pružao lep pogled na Dunav i suprotnu ugarsku stranu. Sedeći tako na prostirci – ihramu (kako glasi turski naziv za prostirku za molitve), on je zaspao. Kada se probudio osećao se kao preporođen. Posle je naredio da se na mestu njegovog ihrama sagradi tvrđava, koja je po ihramu i dobila ime.

8 Forts @ Danube in Serbia - Ram Fortress.
Ram is one of the oldest fortresses in Serbia and its region, although it is not known when exactly it was built. It was first mentioned in documents in 1128, when in the vicinity of the fortress Byzantines defeated the Hungarians. After that, these walls have witnessed many battles that led various forces some time. Fortress Ram was mentioned during the Ottoman conquest, when the Turks turned the conquest of Hungary and the Pannonian Plain. Then the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II, revised and strengthened the fortress for the struggle that awaits them and gave it a look that it has today. Just like the year of building the fortification, its creator is also unknown.
The fortress that stands today on the bank of the Danube, is about 15 km from Veliko Gradiśte. According to one story it was built by brothers Romulus and Remus, the founders of the world famous city of Rome. One of the legends that binds to a medieval fortress, tell us that Attila the Hun spent some time in. What is quite certain is that the Fortress Ram was a Roman fortress due to the board at its base to testify. Fortress Ram is one of the oldest fortress in the region and has the shape of an irregular pentagon and is made of the five towers that are similar by their architecture, but on various positions. Opens for guns in the walls confirmed that this was artillery fortress, which was surrounded by walls and a dry moat.
Inside the fortress was discovered the Orthodox church, on which grounds later was built a mosque. Near Ram is the settlement from which the ferry crosses in Banat. It is interesting that there are no organized tours to fortress Ram, and curious passers-by who saw the way this building is, organized themselves and went on a tour of one of the oldest fortresses in Serbia. As evidenced by reports from this region a place that has such a cultural and historical monument, stands empty. A fortress looks as it is waiting for something. Ram fortress was in the process of reconstruction, as residents say the lights that are set makes it look so much nicer than before. Plan of local government is that central fortress and then into regular tours in agencies. The fortress was a few years ago visited by representatives of Turkey that Ram wants to put into a tour for foreign tourists. The tour name is: Roads of the Ottoman Empire.

PRELEPA RAMSKA TVRĐAVA 2022 - GREAT RAM CASTLE FORTRESS 2022 SRBIJA!!!
Рам је тврђава на десној обали Дунава у истоименом селу, удаљена 25 км од Пожаревца односно 15 км од Великог Градишта и нешто више од 100 км од Београда. Смештена је на стени која се са североисточне стране спушта ка Дунаву. Претпоставља се да је подигнута насупрот тврђави Харам која се налазила на супротној страни реке, а од које данас није ништа остало.
Остаци тврђаве су данас у добром стању. Године 2013 обављени су инфраструктурни радови на уређењу терена и безбедносној заштити посетилаца. Године 2019. тврђава је у потпуности реконструисана и представља занимљиву туристичку дестинацију. Кроз Рам пролази и Дунавска бициклистичка рута и сваке године неколико десетина хиљада туриста бициклиста посети Рам.[5] Ово културно добро има вишеструки значај за очување историјске нити и културног идентитета нашег друштва.
The Ram Fortress (Serbian: Тврђава Рам / Tvrđava Ram) is a 15th-century fort situated on a steep slope on the right bank of the Danube, in the village of Ram, municipality of Veliko Gradište, eastern Serbia. The fortress is located on a rock, which is from the northeast side tilted towards the Danube. It is assumed that the city was built on the opposite side of Haram fortress, which was located across the Danube and left no remnants. The remains of the city are in good condition.
The fortress is located on the bend of the Danube, right across the mouths of the Karaš and Nera rivers, at Danube's 1,075 km (668 mi). West of the fortress is lower (69 m (226 ft) high), marshy areas of the Danube's right bank, including the islands of Čibuklija and Ostrvo. East of Ram, the terrain elevates to 282 m (925 ft), at Gorica Hill.[6] At Ram, the Danube is 5 km (3.1 mi) wide,[7] the widest except for the section at Golubac.[8] Geographically, the area surrounding the fortress is the Ram-Golubac Sand, a 30 km (19 mi) long and 5 km (3.1 mi) long sand area. It is a southern extension of the much larger Deliblato Sand in the Banat region and the two sand areas are divided by the Danube.
The widening of the Danube at the mouths of Karaš and Nera was known as Ram Lake. When the hydroelectrical plant Đerdap I began to fill its reservoir in the late 1960s, due to the backwater of the Danube, the widening grew and flooded surrounding plains. The wetland, covering 50 km2 (19 sq mi), became known as Labudovo okno. Today, the habitat is protected by the IUCN Category IV and was declared a Ramsar wetland of international importance on 1 May 2006.
Due to its elevated position on the rock above the major widening of the river, the fortress is described as allowing the view on the most beautiful Danubian dusk.

GOLUBAC Fortress - the medieval gate of the Đerdap gorge in eastern Serbia
Golubac, a town in Eastern Serbia, has been pronounced in many languages throughout history - Galambocz, Galambas, Columbarum, Taubersburg, Colombazo, Giwerdzinlik, Columbaz, Tawbenstein... and in all languages the meaning is pigeon. The town of Golubac or the Golubac fortress is a medieval fortress, a cultural monument of exceptional importance. It is located in the Đerdap National Park, on the right bank of the Danube. It is located on high cliffs, at the point where the river narrows, at the very entrance to the Djerdap Gorge. The fortress is built in a fan shape and consists of three parts: the front, back and upper town. It consists of a total of 10 towers and two large carriage gates. The town of Golubac was built as an impregnable military fortress. It is located in the territory of the municipality of Golubac, Serbia. This fortress is associated with a legend about a beautiful girl named Golubana who, because of her unrequited love for the Turkish army commander, was cruelly punished by being tied to a rock that can still be seen in the middle of the Danube today.

GOLUBAČKA TVRĐAVA - Serbia (Golubac castle)
Golubačka tvrđava podignuta je na samom ulazu u Đerdapsku klisuru, na mestu gde Dunav najširi u svom toku prelazi u tesnac Karpatskih planina. Tvrđava je predstavljala važno srednjovekovno vojno pogranično utvrđenje, planski građeno zbog vojno-strategijskog značaja mesta. Odavde se lako mogao kontrolisati sav kopneni i vodeni put koji je povezivao istok i zapad, a strme i nepristupačne Ridanske litice, na kojima je izgrađena Tvrđava, i sama reka, bili su joj prirodna zaštita. Zbog ovakvog položaja, tokom XIV i XV veka, pogranične sile, Ugarska i Srbija, a potom i Otomanska imperija, borile su se da osvoje Golubačku tvrđavu jer su time sticali kontrolu i moć nad državnom granicom.

Golubac Fortress
The Golubac Fortress was a medieval fortified town on the south side of the Danube River, 4 km (2.5 mi) downstream from the modern-day town of Golubac, Serbia. According the recent discoveries, the fortress, which was built during the 14th century by Medieval Serbian state, is split into three compounds which were built in stages.It has ten towers, most of which started square, and several of which received many-sided reinforcements with the advent of firearms. Towers were not connected for easier defense. Also inside the fortress were found Serbian Medieval frescos.
Golubac Fortress has had a tumultuous history. Prior to its construction it was the site of a Roman settlement. During the Middle Ages, it became the object of many battles, especially between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary. It changed hands repeatedly, passing between Turks, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Serbs, and Austrians, until 1867, when it was turned over to the Serbian Knez, Mihailo Obrenović III. Now, it is a popular tourist attraction in the region and a sightseeing point on Danube boat tours.
The fortress has a distinction of successfully repelling over 120 conquering attacks during history.
