Kula Gradina in Rošci, Serbia

Kula Gradina

The Zapadna Morava river meanders between the cities of Požega and Čačak. After a dam and a hydroelectricity power plant were established in the region, part of the river became the Međuvršje lake.

However, centuries before the creation of the dam during the 13th-century, a Gradina military fortification was constructed on a hill between the meandering curves. Today, only one tower still stands from the once-mighty fort known as Kula Gradina. The remains of a bastion are also visible.

Although the ruins are not exactly breathtaking, the view over the Ovčar-Kablar gorge is magnificent. Next to the tower is the Uspenje Monastery and not far from that is the Jovanje Monastery.
