Rtanj , Serbia

Rtanj is a mountain in Serbia , southeast of Belgrade between the towns of Boljevac and Sokobanja . According to a local legend a wizard's castle was situated on its highest peak (Siljak ). However the castle dissapeared and in its place there is the chapel of St George. That does somehow ring a bell to me ( being a Balkan myself ) and reminds me how also here Christians decided to build  their temples on the remnants of our older , pagan culture ! Hvala Nenad
