This is a view of the fortified defensive walls and the old partially damaged tower between the walls. It was a very sunny day and I took this picture in the early afternoon, so the lighting was not ideal, but I couldn't wait for the better conditions because I had to go.
One of the main sights of Smederevo is the old medieval fortress from the 15th century, Smederevo Fortress or Jerina town built by Serbian despot Djuradj Brankovic and his wife Jerina in just a few years, which was very fast at the time, so many builders died from exhaustion. People were looking for the culprit, and the wife of the Serbian despot Đurađ Branković - Jerina (Irena Kantakouzene) was blamed for that. It was called "Cursed Jerina" and that name has remained to this day. It was built in the period from 1428-1439. With its position at the confluence of the river Jezava and the Danube, it occupies an area of approximately 11 hectares, has the shape of an irregular triangle and consists of two parts - the Big City and the Small Town. It is the last major creation of a Serbian military building and one of the largest fortifications in Southeast Europe. Smederevo Fortress has been preserved in its integral form, including the castle - Small Town and the town surrounded by ramparts and towers.
It is definitely the main attraction of Smederevo and you must see it if you ever come to this city.

Welcome to my Artmajeur fine art gallery!
I am a fine art photographer, photo editor-retoucher and photo restorator and colorist from Serbia with years of experience. I mostly do landscape photography but also other genres of photography and I love to photograph all those beautiful scenes that are worth saving forever.
I started doing fine art photography when I was very young. But I can say that I have been actively and more seriously engaged for the last 25 years, maybe even more. I acquired my education through various professional literature, as well as through online courses and tutorials. however, I mainly acquired my skills through many years of practice, learning during creating, and hard work. I found inspiration in the artworks of great masters of painting and photography. I am still trying to improve myself even more and learn something new. My works can be found in several world-famous online galleries and I have also exhibited my works in art galleries and exhibitions in the country.
Here you can buy my artwork prints: fine art prints, canvas prints, metal prints, framed prints that will decorate your home and all of that in the best possible print quality. All you see here are my original artworks, so I do not resale any stock images.
What makes me happiest is when I see that people really like my work and want it hanging on their walls. That makes me work harder and create even more nice artworks. I hope you will like some of my images.
Enjoy.
