Kraljevo is a town only a kilometer or two away from Žiča monastery. Kraljevo means "king's town", as kralj = king. However, the town is quite spooky and kind of a communist style, with the huge communist monument right in the center!

Maglić is the medieval Serbian fortress, built on the hill above the Ibar river canyon, and its purpose was to have an overview of the area and thus protect the monasteries Žiča and Studenica that are nearby, from the potential attackers.
It is located 16 km south of Kraljevo.
Early in the 14th century, Maglić was the residence of a Archbishop Danilo, an important figure in Serbian history and well-known biographer of the early Serbian rulers. Of the many structures that once stood in the fortress, only the ruins of Danilo's palace and remains of a church can be seen today.
The fortification is beautifully elighted in the night.
