Bela Crkva Serbia Bela Crkva and its surrounding area had been settled down back in the ancient times, in the Stone Age. People had been living there even throughout other prehistoric periods - the Bronze and the Iron Age, what numerous archaeological remains prove today. However, the most interesting remains were found on the town locations [for eg. Siglova ciglana stratum]. the Celts, the Skits and the Dutches had settled there or just passed along, and by the end of the younger Iron Aged it started a new period in history - the Roman Domination which would last until the middle of III century. When Barbarians, particularly the Goths and the Sarmats had started invading the South Banat, it was finally lost for the Roman Empire. The Sarmats had settled down there learing their marks and some remains of their material culture are numerous and most interesting particularly on Bela Crkva location [from different dishes to various ornaments]. The Avars and the Slavs had come with the great movement of peoples [VI century], but it is rather strange that few orchaeological remains were found from that period, after the Sarmats had gone The Slavs finally had settled and stayed on the conquered territory, while the Avars had continued to conquer other territories, carrying out raids. The alliance between them broke off, and the Avars, as a powerful military force had left the territory, while the Slavs suffered the influence of their powerful neighbours, Byzantium and French country. However, the Bulgarians had started their great invasion, when the Slavs were forced either to form an alliance with them, or to fall into their power, and so page 1 / 4 Bulgaria was established. As for the Sout-East of Banat, which often changed rulers, since the Avars power had fallen, now it fell under Bulgarian power. In the IX century the Hungarians occupied the territory of Banat and Bela Crkva was in their power them. They stayed there until 1522 when the Turks invaded Temisvar and became the rulers of this area. In the XVII century the war betwen Austria and Turkey broke out, but in 1716 the Prince Eugene of Savoy had conquered Temisvar and handed it over to Earl Merci to govern. Earl Merci occupied the fortress by the Danube river, Palanka and Pancevo, and so this territory became definitely free from the Turks. Bela Crkva was founded as soon as the territory had been liberated from the Turks. It was earl Merci who organized a massive colonization of the Germans from Germany, French country and Hesen. During the years that followed, the Germans continned to settle there, establishing a nice wealthy town where different trades were developed, especially wine growing and production of high quality wines. Very soon afterwards, the Serbs, the Romanians and some other nationalities, also started to settle there. However, the great majority of population still consisted of the Germans until World War II. In order to protect themselves from the Turks, Austria formed a military border and the Wallach-Illirian regiment in 1774. Some fine buildings were built at that time and most of them are in good condition up to these days. Military border was abolished in 1872 and Bela Crkva was united with Hungary again having returned to civilian government after years of military rule. The first mayor then was Leonhard Bohm, a learned man who wrote the first history of Bela Crkva. Then in 1877 Felix Milleker founded the museum, and at the same time it was the first museum in Vojvodina. Bela Crkva had been a part of Austro-Hungarian Monarchy up to 1918 when it was united in the Monarchy of the Serbs, the Croatians and the Slovenians. Hungarian administration and language withdrew, but the economic power of Bela Crkva weakened more and more. After Romania and the Monarchy of the SCS had been divided unsatisfactory, Bela Crkva was left on the very border, while the woods and cultiuable soil belonged to Romania. Many roads were cut off, meny markets lost for Bela Crkva. Then World War II broke off. Love and harmony of multinational community was mined. After the war almost all the Germans and locals left it. Serbia Serbia has connected West with East for centuries a land in which civilisations, cultures, faiths, climates and landscapes meet and mingle. It is located in the centre of the Balkan Peninsula, in southeastern Europe. The northern portion belongs to central Europe, but in terms of geography and climate it is also partly a Mediterranean country. Serbia is landlocked but as a Danube country it is connected to distant seas and oceans. Serbia is a crossroads of Europe and a geopolitically important territory. The international roads and railway lines, which run through the countrys river valleys, form the shortest link between Western Europe and the Middle East. From the agricultural regions of the Pannonian Plain in the north, across the fertile river valleys and orchard-covered hills of umadija, the landscape of Serbia continues southward, gradually giving way to mountains rich in canyons, gorges and caves, as well as well-preserved forests. Serbias beautiful mountains, national parks, rivers and lakes are the perfect location for an active outdoor holiday from hunting and fishing to extreme sports. Many times during its rich, centuries-long history, Serbia has been at the centre of Europes and the worlds attention, out of all proportion to its modest size, economic might and number of inhabitants. Many lessons on bravery, patriotism and the struggle for freedom can be learned wherever you turn in Serbia, as you pass through its cities and regions. The cultural and historical heritage of Serbia begins with prehistoric archaeological sites and its legacy from classical antiquity. Perhaps its greatest riches, though, are in the many mediaeval Serbian churches and monasteries, some of which are included on the UNESCO World Heritage list. All year round, numerous cultural, entertainment, traditional and sporting events are held in Serbia, demonstrating the creative power and spiritual vitality of this country. Today, Serbia is a modern, democratic European country, on the path to membership of the European Union, which a diverse range of visitors from young backpackers to participants in congresses and fairs visit every day. Statistically, the most-visited tourist destinations are the cities of Belgrade and Novi Sad, the mountains of Kopaonik and Zlatibor and the spa towns of Vrnja?ka Banja and Sokobanja. page 2 / 4 The northern part of Serbia, Vojvodina, located in the Pannonian Plain, is predominately flat. There are also plains in Ma?va, Posavina, Pomoravlje and Stig, as well as in Negotinska Krajina in eastern Serbia. 55% of Serbias land is arable, the large part of which is located in Vojvodina, the countrys main agricultural region. The central part of Serbia and the hilly umadija region are located south of the Sava and Danube rivers. Further south, the hills gradually give way to mountains. The valleys of the Great, South and West Morava, Niava and Ibra rivers cut through the hilly and mountainous areas of Serbia and are the main travel routes. The forest coverage in Serbia is 27.3% in total and regional coverage varies: Vojvodina 6.8%, central Serbia 32.8% and Kosovo and Metohija 39.4%. The mountain landscape of Serbia is rich in canyons, gorges and caves, as well as preserved forests which are home to a multitude of endemic species. Serbias mountains belong to: The Rhodopes range, which runs along the right and left sides of the South and Great Morava rivers. The Carpathians and Balkan Mountains, which are located in the eastern part of Serbia, south of the Danube river. The Dinaric Alps mountain chain, the largest of the mountain regions, is divided into eight sub-regions: Prokletiije, ar, Stari Vlah-Raka, Kopaonik, Kosovo-Metohija, umadija, and the Rudne and Fline mountains. 15 peaks reach an altitude of over 2000 m, of which the highest is ?eravica in the Prokletije, with a height of 2656 m. Serbias rivers belong to the drainage basins of the Black, Adriatic and Aegean seas. Three rivers are fully navigable in Serbia: the Danube, Sava and the Tisa. The Velika Morava and Tami rivers are partly navigable. The longest river to flow through Serbia is the Danube, 588 km of its total 2783 km-long course, and over 90% of the river basin is occupied by this river.
