Sažetak

Požega Mountain (Požeška gora) and the area of its Sava basin were defended with numerous forts during the Middle Ages and the Modern Age. Although historical sources state that there were several dozens of such forts in this area, this paper only deals with those that are completely or partially (in ruins) preserved in the field, and with those whose appearance can be reconstructed based on old sketches or photographs. Most of the forts on the slopes of Požeška gora are preserved in the form of ruins located above the ground, while of those located in its lowland Sava basin only impressions in the soil remain. The only exception is Cernik, which is also the only completely preserved fort in the observed area, although it was thoroughly modified into a castle during the Baroque and Classicism periods.
