Ram Fortress - synonym for the rich cultural heritage

It is not known for sure when Ram was built, but the fortress of Horom is mentioned in reports from the Hungarian-Bulgarian wars. Trajan's Pillar in Rome describes the first crossing of Roman legions in the campaign against the Dacians over the pontoon bridge near Rama, judging by the statement of the deputy mayor of Veliko Gradiste, Sladjan Markovic. He also stated that there is evidence that Karadjordje moved to Serbia right near Rama because of the monastery that St. Sava built in the 13th century and when all communication took place. However, the oldest record of Rama is in 1128, when the Byzantines defeated the Hungarians near this fortress.

Ram Fortress has five towers connected by mighty ramparts. It was built as the first typical artillery fortification in Serbia. It has 36 cannon openings, which speaks of its great power, and for the sake of comparison, it should be noted that the Kalemegdan Fortress in Belgrade has only 22 openings. They are arranged on the walls of towers and ramparts, so that they cover the entire circle around the fortress. Tourists are very interested in touring this Danube treasure, because as the visitors themselves say, there is no better place to understand the medieval battles than to stand on the battlefield!
After the expulsion of the Ottomans from Serbia, the revival of the country began, which was most felt in Rama during the reign of Prince Mihajlo. In 1859, a new organization of state administration will follow. From Ramsa to the Pec principality, the Ram district was formed with its headquarters in Veliki Gradište.
In Milosevic's Serbia, Ram with Dubravica and Veliko Gradiste were the main export ports. A special ferry worked here on the Ram-Bazjaš route, which mostly exported fat pigs, corn and grain. It is known that Prince Miloš himself had several of his own people here who bought cattle for his account.
