Kladovo

Kladovo (Serbian Cyrillic: Кладово, pronounced [klâdɔʋɔ]; Romanian: Cladova or Claudia) is a town and municipality located in the Bor District of eastern Serbia.

Later, Slavs founded a settlement that was named Novi Grad (Нови Град)[citation needed], while Ottomans built a fortress here and called it Fethülislam.

One of the suburbs of Berlin also has this name, which originates from the Slavic Lusatian Serbs (Sorbs) who live in eastern Germany.

[5] Bronze Age necropolis with rituals, pottery (decorated with meander) and other significant archaeological items were found in Korbovo.

In the Middle Ages, Slavs founded here new town named Novi Grad (Нови Град),[citation needed] but it was razed by the Hungarians in 1502.

There are mixed colonies of pygmy cormorants and herons, while other birds include swans, white-tailed eagles, European bee-eaters, and numerous ducks.

Other businesses began primarily to support the building and operation of the power plant, and the local folk.

The population of the villages around Kladovo is mostly supported by the family members who work in the countries of western Europe, agriculture is a side activity more than an income-generating one.

Before the power plant was built, sturgeon caviar from this area was very popular and was exported as a delicacy to the western Europe and the United States.

The specificity of the Caviar of Kladovo was that the roe gets "ripe" enough during the 850 km (530 mi) long journey of the fish from the Black Sea upstream the Danube.

Trajan's successor Hadrian partially demolished it to prevent the raids of the Dacians and the bridge was later neglected.

It was named Fetislam (originally Feht-ul-Islam meaning "gate of Islam") and it is located 300 m (980 ft) upstream of Kladovo's downtown.

The rectangular cannon fortification with six round bastions, Fetislam became important military structure up to the end of World War I.

The fortress was endangered with the rise of the Danube water level with the construction of the massive Iron Gate dam.

Nearby the city (8 km on the road to Belgrade) there is a youth camp named "Karataš" (Turkish kara-tash for "black stone") which can host some of the visiting tourists.
