"Devil's Town") is a rock formation consisting of about 200 earth pyramids or "towers", located in southern Serbia on the Radan Mountain,[1] in the municipality of Kuršumlija.

[2] Đavolja Varoš is located some 30 kilometres (19 mi) southeast of Kuršumlija, on the southwestern slopes of the Radan mountain.

These formations were created by strong erosion of the soil that was scene of intense volcanic activity millions of years ago.

[2] The area beneath the towers is called The Hell gully (Paklena jaruga) and the surrounding terrain is a location of the mine shafts from the medieval Nemanjić Serbia.

[6] The unusually pungent spring waters were examined for the first time in 1905 by Aleksandar Zega, founder of the Serbian Chemical Society.

According to one of the myths, Radan was a miraculous mountain, inhabited by the fairies, while the people living at the foothills were the most diligent, pious and concordant in the world.

Bittered by this harmony, one day the devil sent dark and storm to the mountain, with lightnings striking one after another, and thunders causing landslides.

On the "shortest night ever, while the falling stars fill the stream and mighty moon shines the sky", emerging, red sun will melt the towers liberating those buried underneath.

Claims are that in the deepest night, from the three still closed former mining shafts, you can hear Saxon miners digging the ore inside.

The cloth is then tied to one of the three trees surrounding the church, and on the seventh day they are untied and buried in the ground, "taking illness with it".
