Lazars(Donzon) tower Kruševac,Serbia

Historical occurrences made Kruševac one of the most important Serbian cities. Made out of river stone, it was built by Prince Lazar as his capitol city, whose remains together with church Lazarica in its center are forever imbedded as symbols of Kruševac. Besides, a vast number of ancient monasteries and two medieval fortresses surround Kruševac making it quite interesting for tourists. Even though it is speculated that namesake settlement existed 60 years before that, Prince Lazar started building Kruševac in 1371 out of multicolored river stone called “krušac”, of which city was supposed to be named after. Even today there are many symbols in Kruševac which bring you back in times of Battle of Kosovo and its heroes. Nearly every city manifestation is somewhat centered around the spirit of age that came to pass. “Lazar’s City” is still attracting the biggest guest turnout of Krusevac. Of this 14th century fortress remained preserved the Donžon tower, the main city defense tower 60 feet high. Still, the most beautiful and dazzling construction of this era, also a part of “Lazar’s city” is the church Lazarica, the shiniest pearl or Moravian architecture.
