Miljački Grad

The castle is associated with the Lipovac ridge and the Pavlović domain. Its medieval name remains uncertain; Lipovac and Miljački grad are modern identifiers. Ruined domestic rooms wrap a rock pinnacle, while layered gateways control the accessible approach. The identification of this site with historical Hodidjed is debated; the atlas keeps the two mapped sites separate.

Through the centuries

Medieval period

Fortified residence associated with the Pavlović domain.

Present remains

Ruined masonry preserves the relationship between cliff, approach and domestic spaces.

Architecture & evidence

Summit watchtower

A small upper structure occupies a rock pinnacle above the domestic rooms. The approximately 15 m rock proxy communicates this separation; its exact local shape is not surveyed.

Layered entrance

Two gateways protect the accessible approach. Their different wall thicknesses and room arrangement follow the published plan; openings and surviving heights remain estimates.

Lower outer court

Two long outer walls and a small round tower extend down the ridge. They are presented as broken remains, without invented intact battlements.

Plan your visit

The pin marks the fortress, not a road entrance. Confirm current access and the walking approach with local guides.
