Kovin
Serbia, Serbia
Kovin is a town and municipality in Serbia's South Banat District of Vojvodina, situated along the Danube River with a population of around 14,000, known for its prehistoric settlements from Neolithic Starčevo and Vinča cultures through Bronze Age fortifications. The site of Grad hosts remains of Kovin Fortress, a medieval stronghold built atop a Roman castrum by Hungarians in the 11th-12th centuries to defend against Bulgarians, Byzantines, and Ottomans, serving as Kovin County's center and a prosperous trade hub frequently mentioned in charters. It changed hands among Hungarians, Serbs under Despot Lazar Branković in 1457, Ottomans from the 16th century, Habsburgs after 1716, and became part of modern Serbia post-WWII, marked by a large Serb population since the 14th century fleeing Ottoman threats.
