Positioned on the slopes of Mount Seli\u010devica, above the right bank of the South Morava, near the mouth of Toplica, the Koprijan fortress held a great strategic position. Situated above the Kurvingrad gorge and on the southern edge of the Ni\u0161 valley, it played a significant role in controlling an important route along the Morava valley.<\/p>\n

The Byzantine city of Komplos, assumed to have been situated at this location, was mentioned in the Charter of Emperor Basil II from 1119\/20. The town underwent reconstruction as a border fortress during the reign of Prince Lazar Hrebeljanovi\u0107, in 1372. Koprijan likely came under Turkish rule in 1451. Following this, the fortress was not reconstructed, as it was situated deep within Ottoman territory.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Koprijan stands out as one of the well-preserved monuments from the Serbian Middle Ages, featuring a regular rectangular base and covering an area of about 30 ares. Surrounded by a moat on all sides, the fortress has square towers, enclosed on all four sides, evenly spaced along the ramparts. The ramparts are exceptionally well-preserved on the eastern side, reaching a height of over 10 metres, while the position of the main tower can be seen in the configuration of the terrain.<\/p>\n

Since 2022, the Institute of Archaeology has been conducting archaeological research at the site. A multi-year project of systematic archaeological excavations was launched with the overarching objective of investigating, safeguarding, conserving, and partially restoring the remnants of the medieval Koprijan fortress. The ultimate goal is to integrate this significant monument into the cultural and historical landmarks with tourist potential.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
