Smederevo
Smederevo is a city on the Danube in Serbia, east of Belgrade. Despot Đurađ Branković built its huge fortress between 1428 and 1430 as the new capital of the Serbian Despotate, one of the largest lowland fortresses in Europe. Its fall to Mehmed II in 1459 ended medieval Serbian independence.
