The Maglič Castle - 3D reconstruction

Maglič Castle was built in the first half of the 13th century, by either the king of Serbia, Stefan the First-Crowned, or his son king Uroš I. The castle was built to safeguard archbishop's seat monastery Žiča, as well as to prevent any future foreign military raid deeper into the Serbian lands.

During 14th century, Maglič Castle was the seat of archbishop Danilo II.

The castle consists of seven towers and the keep connected with walls. The towers are typical for a medieval fortress in the Balkan peninsula with three solid sides and wooden fences on inner side.

Maglič has one gate placed in the north, and one small sally port in one of the towers in the southeast part. Inside the fortress are remains of a palace, residential structures, and a church of Saint George.

There is also a large reservoir for water beneath the keep. In the southern part of the fortress, three towers are placed next to each other to give better protection from attacks.
