Morović Fortress
Morović Fortress (Serbian: Тврђава Моровић) is a fortress in the village of Morović, Šid municipality, Vojvodina, Serbia.
Background
The fortress was built in the mid-12th century and was subsequently property of Đurađ Branković with some authors dating it only to 14th century rule of Maróti János.[1] It lies on elevated ground where the Studva flows into the Bosut river.[1] After the extinction of the Maróti family, it was acquired in 1484 by John Corvinus, the illegitimate son of the Hungarian king Matthias.[3] The Ottoman Empire conquered the fortress in 1528 or 1589.[3] After the retreat of the Ottoman forces and the signing of the 1718 Treaty of Passarowitz the fortress lost its military and strategic importance and slowly began to decline.[3]
