Negotin, Srbija – Grad gde duša peva i sunce sija

Описание: 🎶 Negotin – srce na istoku Srbije 🌅🇷🇸
U zagrljaju tri granice – Srbije, Rumunije i Bugarske 🌍, Negotin blista kao tiha zvezda na nebu Istočne Srbije 💫. Grad i opština u okrilju Borskog okruga, s 16.882 duše u svom naručju 🏡, dok čitava opština broji oko 35.000 ljudi 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦.

🔥 Još od drevnih vremena, ovde su koračali Tračani i keltski Skordisci 🛡️, dok su rimski legionari, predvođeni Markom Likinijem Krasom, doneli plamen imperije 30. godine pre nove ere 🇮🇹. U doba cara Domicijana, oblast biva uvrštena u Meziju Inferior, a kasnije i u Daciju Remezijanu 📜.

🏛️ Arheološka blaga svedoče o prisustvu bogova – Herakla, Zevsa i Dionisa – pronađena u Rovinju, Tamniću i Bukovu ⚱️. U selu Rogljevo otkriveno je rimsko nalazište Selište sa nekropolom, dok su fibule od srebra i zlata iz 3. veka pronađene širom Negotina ✨.

🌹 Početkom 19. veka, u vihoru Prvog srpskog ustanka, Negotin se uzdigao kao plamen slobode 🔥. No, 1813. godine, kad je Napoleon potisnuo Rusiju i Austriju iz borbe, Turci su ponovo okupirali grad 💔. Hajduk Veljko, junak nad junacima ⚔️, pao je herojski pogođen topovskim đuletom, a saborci ga pokopaše u tajnosti da izbegnu tursku osvetu.

🌿 Iako Drugi ustanak nije odmah oslobodio Negotin, diplomatska mudrost Miloša Obrenovića i odlučnost vojvode Stevana Stevanovića Tenke doveli su do konačne slobode 1833. godine – bez ispaljenog metka 🕊️.

🎓 Negotin tada postaje svetionik prosvete, kulture i vere ✨. Prva državna škola otvorena je 1824. godine, a gimnazija već 1839 📚. Veličanstvena saborna crkva podignuta je 1876, dok su negotinski đaci poput kompozitora Stevana Mokranjca 🎼 i fizičara Đorđa Stanojevića 🌌 školovani širom Evrope.

📖 Kulturni život cvetao je: čitalačke družine, horovi, umetničke sekcije… sve to niklo gotovo istovremeno kad i u Beogradu 🌺. Postojala je i ideja da se grad premesti na obale Dunava 🚢 – ali Negotin je bio prevelik da bi ga selili, i ostao je tamo gde ga je srce naroda zasadilo ❤️.

🏞️ Ipak, blizina močvara i teška prohodnost prema jugu učinili su da Zaječar vremenom preotme primat kao regionalni centar 🛤️. Izgradnjom železnice to postaje još očiglednije.

⚔️ Iako mirna, ova zemlja je uvek davala hrabre sinove. Tokom balkanskih i svetskih ratova, Negotin je slao junake na sve bojišnice – u slavu i večnost 🇷🇸.

🌄 Danas, u njegovim selima većinu čine Srbi, dok su Kovilovo i Aleksandrovac dom vlaških zajednica 🧿. Negotin i dalje čuva duh prošlih vekova, šapat starih sokaka i melodiju Mokranjčevih nota… 🎻💖
🎶 Negotin – The Heart of Eastern Serbia 🌅🇷🇸
Embraced by three borders – Serbia, Romania, and Bulgaria 🌍, Negotin shines like a silent star in the skies of Eastern Serbia 💫. A town and municipality within the Bor District, it cradles 16,882 souls 🏡, while the wider municipality gathers around 35,000 people 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦.

🔥 Since ancient times, this land was walked by Thracians and Celtic Scordisci 🛡️. In 30 BCE, Roman legions led by Marcus Licinius Crassus brought the flame of the Empire 🇮🇹. Under Emperor Domitian, the region became part of Moesia Inferior, and later Dacia Remesiana 📜.

🏛️ Archaeological treasures whisper of gods – Hercules, Zeus, and Dionysus – their traces found in Rogljevo, Tamnič, and Bukovo ⚱️. In the village of Rogljevo, a Roman site with a necropolis was discovered, while silver and gold fibulae from the 3rd century glitter from the soil across Negotin ✨.

🌹 In the early 19th century, amidst the storm of the First Serbian Uprising, Negotin rose like a flame of freedom 🔥. But in 1813, when Napoleon pushed Russia and Austria out of the war, the Ottomans reoccupied the town 💔. Hajduk Veljko, hero of heroes ⚔️, fell struck by a cannonball, and his comrades buried him in secret to avoid Turkish revenge.

🌿 Though the Second Uprising did not immediately liberate Negotin, the diplomatic wisdom of Miloš Obrenović and the firm resolve of commander Stevan Stevanović Tenka brought final freedom in 1833 – without a single shot fired 🕊️.

🎓 Negotin soon became a beacon of education, culture, and faith ✨. The first state school opened in 1824, followed by a high school in 1839 📚. The grand cathedral was built in 1876, while students from Negotin, such as composer Stevan Mokranjac 🎼 and physicist Đorđe Stanojević 🌌, studied across Europe.

📖 A vibrant cultural life blossomed – reading societies, choirs, artistic circles… emerging almost in step with Belgrade 🌺. There was even a plan to relocate the city closer to the Danube 🚢 – but Negotin was too deeply rooted in the hearts of its people ❤️.

🏞️ Yet, the nearby swamps and the hard-to-cross terrain to the south allowed Zaječar to overtake it as the regional hub 🛤️. The construction of the railway sealed this shift.

⚔️ Though peaceful, this land has always birthed brave sons. During the Balkan and World Wars, Negotin sent its heroes to battlefields far and wide – into glory and eternity 🇷🇸.

🌄 Today, most villages are home to ethnic Serbs, while Kovilovo and Aleksandrovac are cherished by the Vlach community 🧿.
