:''This page is about the village and municipality. For the mountain, see Golubac (mountain).''
'Golubac' (Serbian Cyrillic: Голубац) is a village and municipality in north-eastern Serbia, on the right side of the Danube river. It is bound by Romania to the east, Veliko GradiÅ¡te to the west and KuÄevo to the south. The population of the village is 1,896 and the population of the municipality is 9,913.
In Serbian, the village is known as ''Golubac'' (Голубац), in Hungarian as ''Galambóc'' or ''Golumbácz'', and in Turkish as ''Güvercinlik''. The name Golubac is derived from ''golub'', which is Serbian for "pigeon" or "dove", and is therefore often translated as "the town of doves".
Ethnic groups in the Golubac municipality (2002 census):
★ Serbs = 8,629
★ Vlachs = 870
★ Other
Due to many nearby archeological sites and the Äerdap national park, the village is a popular tourist, fishing and sailing destination.
The archeological sites include the remnants of one of Roman Emperor Trajan's tables near Trajan's Bridge, found along his road through the Danube's Iron Gates; and the Roman fortress Diana. Golubac fortress, 4km downstream, is from the 14th century and also of interest. The fortress was a place of a battle against the Turks in 1428, where the Polish knight Zawisza Czarny was captured and murdered by the Turks.
The Iron Gate national park is noted for its natural beauty and its hunting grounds, as well as many trails for more experienced hiking. The village's quay along the Danube river is popular for more relaxed hiking.
Golubac has become a famous sailing site. The Sailing Center of the Sailing Association of Serbia, which the Serbian National Team uses for ground preparations before every big sailing event, is located in Golubac. One of the events is a sailing Regatta, which is traditionally held in August. During the summer, the Center holds an Optimist Class sailing camp, where beginners can learn from the best Serbian sailors and their international guests.
