Petrovaradin Fortress, Novi Sad
This fort. complex has been built throughout 17th and 18th centuries on Danube river,in order to protect the borders of Austria from the Ottomans.

It is also known among European youth to be the home to the biggest music festival in this part of the continent, famous EXIT festival.

St Sava's and Black George's Statue
On more picture of this magnificent temple. For centuries it was planned to build such a large scale cathedral but Turkish authorities did not seem to agree with it, prefering building moscoes instead; in 19th century a small church dedicated to this saint has been built and the plans for a bigger one have become reality, especially after aquiring independence. First stone, believe it or not, was laid in 1905, which means that it took an entire century to build it (?!), since the situation in the country throughout the century prefered agnosticism than religion. During the 1980s the works continued, the external part has been completed in 2004, right in time to mark the 200th anniversary of the First Serbian National Uprising (from 1804.), that eventually made the country independent again, thanks to Duke Karadjordje (Black George, who's monument stands in front of the cathedral)

Scull Tower, Nis
Period between 1804 and 1813 was very important for Serbia, since that is when First Serbian Uprising against Turkish yoke was taking place. For almost a decade Serbia was again considered an independent country, aided by Austrian Serbs, even Napoleon and Imperial Russia. However, this state was crushed by the Ottomans in 1813, causing wide spread Turkish vengeance. One of the battles that decided fate of modern Serbia was the battle of Cegar, where Turkish army has defeated the rebel Serbs, destroying their strongholds and cities. More than 10,000 Serbian soldiers have lost their lives in that battle. However, that wasn't the end. After their defeat, Turks had taken their (Serbian) sculls and used them to build a tower- "to show how rebels end up". It is one of the pilgramige sites in Serbia, where people go to commemorate this sadly event.
