More information about the video content bellow: 1. On Serbia's modern-day territory most of the Roman emperors were born after Italy (about one in five). One of them was Constantine, born in Nis, who was the emperor that legalized Christianity. 2. The Skull Tower is a tower composed largely of human skulls located in the city of Niš, Serbia. During the First Serbian Uprising in 1809, Serbian revolutionaries were attacked by Turkish forces on Čegar Hill, near Niš. Rather than be captured by the Turks and executed by impalement, the commander fired his pistol into a powder magazine, killing himself and all Serbian rebels and Turkish soldiers in the vicinity. Afterward the Turkish Grand Vizier of Niš ordered that a tower be made from the skulls of the killed Serbian revolutionaries. Once complete, the ten-foot high Skull Tower contained 952 Serbian skulls embedded on four sides in fourteen rows. 3. Đavolja Varoš (meaning "Devil's Town") is a peculiar rock formation, located in south Serbia on the Radan Mountain near Kuršumlija. It features 202 exotic formations described as earth pyramids or "towers", as the locals refer to them. They are 2-15 m tall and 4-6 m wide at the base. 4. Serbia was a part of the country of Yugoslavia, a country of the southern Slavs. Yugoslavia broke up into six independent states - – Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia. In 1999, NATO bombed Serbia, to stop the civil war that turned to ethnic cleansing and genocide. But even today you can still see the damage from the bombings. 5. The Drina River in the Balkans is possibly one of the most beautiful bodies of water to ever exist. And what sits atop of a rock in the middle of this scenic place is a tiny home that has stood the test of time, adding to the area's intrigue. For over 40 years, this small structure has survived the unpredictable Serbian weather and has become a hot spot for tourists lucky enough to take a dip. 6. Situated in one of Serbia's most picturesque settings–the Uvac River valley–the Uvac Special Nature Reserve is home to 104 species of birds. Another of the reserve's unique features is the Uvac Canyon and its majestically meandering river valley. 7. Belgrade, the capital city of Serbia, means “White Fortress”. The Romans called it Singidunum, the Byzantines wanted it in their empire, the Ottomans ruled over it, the Hungarians craved for it. Belgrade is one of the most known capitals of Europe and its rich history and beautiful architecture make it a prime spot for tourists.
