Review:
Devin Castle, which translates to “observation points” or “watchtowers, is the ruins of one of the last fortifications built in the 17th century. The cliff in which the remains lie was an excellent vantage point as people could watch over trade routes on the Danube and Morava Rivers, and archaeologists have found that people had been settled there going back to the neolithic. Visitors can explore the sprawling interior of the castle, which includes staircases, gardens, and open courtyards. One of the most popular aspects of the castle is a tiny watchtower called the Maiden Tower; the tower has many interesting legends, most of which include lovelorn women falling to their death.
