Azanja is 160 meters above mean sea level. With 4,014 residents, it is one of largest villages in Central Serbia.
== History == The name Azanja origin from the Thracian (Thraco-Cimmerian and Phrygian) name "Azan". Azan first time appears in the Greek myth of Arcas and Ereto, as the name for one of their sons. The Turkish city of Çavdarhisar in ancient Phrygia, through history, had the almost identical name - "Aizanoi". From 1850 to 1950 it was known as the biggest village in Serbia and later as the biggest village of ex Yugoslavia. In 1950, when Azanja reached population of 12,500 it was split into three parts, Vlaški Do, Grčac and Azanja. Because of the large population, in 1922 it received the status of a town (varošica).
