Kurvingrad is a ruined medieval fortress located on a hill overlooking the Južna Morava River in the village of Doljevac. It contains the remains of the town of Koprijan, with a history spanning over a millennium. Visitors go here to explore the archaeological traces of the fortifications and the layout of the ancient settlement.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to walk through the ruins and observe the surrounding landscape from the hilltop.
