   Welcome to Sremska Mitrovica !!!

   Located in northwest Serbia, Sremska Mitrovica lies next to the Srem and Mačva plains in the foothills of Fruska Gora. It is only 74 km from Belgrade off the E70 highway.

   Modern Sremska Mitrovica, once known as Sirmium, was a prominent center of Christianity in the Roman era. It is located along several key roads on the shores of Danube river, the settlement flourished into a bustling center of culture and trade. Sirmium’s remarkable imperial palace featured heated floors and walls beautifully decorated with mosaics and frescoes. The palace complex also includes thermal baths, crop fields, residential areas and forts. Here died the philosopher tsar Marcus Aurelius.

   Some remnants of Sirmium’s grandeur can be seen if you visit modern Sremska Mitrovica, but a large part of the ancient town remains still underground. Tourists will find the most interesting excavations at Nikola Pasic Square in the center of the city and also on the corner of Pivarska and Branko Radicevic streets.

  The reserve on the Sava River comprises of preserved swamps, a forest with a wide range of flora and fauna, and a variety of bird and insect species.

   If you reach Sremska Mitrovica, you should visit  the Roman era Imperial Palace excavation site, the Zasavica nature reserve and the gallery and atelier of Sava Sumanovic, the renowned Serbian artist.
