K raljevo owes its name to the kings of its glorious histo- ry - seven of them were crowned at Žiča Monas- tery, and traces of their rule over these lands are still visible to this day. The very scenery of this place seems to have leapt from the pages of a novel about knights, princesses and terrible dragons – just 180 kilo- metres from Belgrade, in the heart of Serbia, visitors pass through the lilac valley, above which rises the mys- terious medieval citadel of Maglič. Anyone who has seen the Kraljevo coat of arms knows that there are seven crowns on it, which symbolise the seven coronations, and legend has it that a new door was opened at Žiča Monastery for every ruler, through which only he passed, af- ter which it would be immediate- ly bricked up. Whether this is true or not, today the monastery still has seven closed doorways that lure visitors to come and hear the story of this place. The city adorns the banks of three large rivers - West Mora- va, Ibar and Gruža. Other, small- er tributaries are so numerous they’re no longer counted. And if they ever get tired of their riv- ers or just want some different scenery, Kraljevo folk head to the beautiful nearby mountains - Goč, Stolove, Troglav, Radoče- lo… Guests seeking healing wa- ters and spa treatments can easi- ly reach three spas from Kraljevo - Vrnjačka, Mataruška and Bo- gutovačka, where they are, of course, awaited by the royal treat- ment.
