Serbia is a country that once was a part of Yugoslavia, and it is situated in Southern Europe. It is bordered by Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Macedonia, and Romania. Like any other European countries, Serbia has a lot to offer its tourist population, and here are ten wonderful places that a visitor should visit once in Serbia.

2.) Staro Selo
In this area, you will get to see a 19th-century church that is made of wood and was built by Vujica Vulicevic.

This is now considered as one of Serbia’s national treasures.

10.) Skull Tower
This is truly a sight to behold as this tower contains 952 skulls of Serbian rebel armies. They were killed during the early 1800 revolution against the Ottoman Empire. As a warning, the rebels’ skulls were mounted on top of the tower to dissuade other would-be rebels.
