Explore Kraljevo: The Gate of History and Natural Beauty of Serbia
Kraljevo, located in the heart of Šumadija and rich in fertile plains along three rivers, represents a unique symbiosis of history, culture, and nature. This city, whose name honors the seven medieval rulers crowned in the Žiča monastery, embodies the spirit of the Serbian past and is a source of inexhaustible inspiration.
Coronation of the Seven Rulers: Foundation of Names and Arms
Kraljevo, with its coat of arms bearing "seven crowns for seven kings", symbolizes a rich heritage dating back to the 14th century. From Rudo Polje to Karanovac, and then to Rankovićevo, the city changed several names over the centuries, until it returned to its original name - Kraljevo, thereby reaffirming its royal heritage.
Natural Beauty of Kraljevo
Kraljevo is the right choice for those looking for a refuge in nature. The rivers Zapadna Morava, Ibar, and Gruža, together with the mountains Goč and Stolovi, provide ideal conditions for rest, recreation and enjoyment of untouched natural beauty.
Spas: Oases of Health and Rest
Vrnjačka, Mataruška, and Bogutovačka spa, with their rich mineral water springs and spa treatments, offer the perfect combination of rest and health. Visit these spas for complete regeneration of body and spirit.
Maglič: Medieval Fortress from Fairy Tale
Maglič Fortress, with its mysterious ramparts and towers, dominates the landscape and offers insight into the historical eras that shaped the region. Its strategic position once protected the approaches to important monasteries such as Studenica and Žiča, while today it represents one of the main tourist attractions.
The Legend of the Seven Royal Gates
The interesting legend about the Žiča Monastery and the seven royal doors that were bricked up after the passing of each king adds a mystical touch to the history of the Kings, inviting visitors to explore the secrets it hides.
Studenica: Roots of the Serbian Church
Studenica Monastery, an endowment of Stefan Nemanja, represents the spiritual center of medieval Serbia. Its importance as a cultural and spiritual epicenter is also confirmed by its inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List, making it an unmissable place for all visitors.
