Golubac Fortress rises directly from the Danube's edge, its nine surviving towers built in stages from the 14th century by a succession of Serbian, Hungarian, and Ottoman rulers who each recognised the same strategic value in guarding the river's entrance into the Đerdap gorge, known in English as the Iron Gates.
A major restoration completed in the 2010s reopened much of the fortress to visitors, including walkways along walls previously closed for safety reasons, and it now anchors Đerdap National Park, whose gorge stretch counts among the most dramatic river gorges in Europe, cliffs rising sharply on both the Serbian and Romanian banks.
