Morović Fortress

Morović Fortress (Serbian: Тврђава Моровић) is a fortress in the village of Morović, Šid municipality, Vojvodina, Serbia.

The fortress was built in the mid-12th century and was subsequently property of Đurađ Branković with some authors dating it only to 14th century rule of Maróti János.

[1] After the extinction of the Maróti family, it was acquired in 1484 by John Corvinus, the illegitimate son of the Hungarian king Matthias.
