About
Trojanov Grad, also known as the Town of Trajan, is an archaeological site located on Cer Mountain in central Serbia. It is primarily characterized by the remains of a defensive wall, suggesting its historical role as a fortress. The site is traditionally linked to the mythical Slavic Emperor Trajan, though concrete historical evidence is sparse. The existing remnants indicate a structure likely active during the Late Classical and Early Post-Classical periods. Its strategic location on Cer Mountain would have provided significant defensive advantages, underscoring its importance in regional military history. Today, only portions of the fortress wall remain visible, offering a glimpse into the past fortifications and their architectural features.
