== History == Rocky hills above the village of Borač, about 10 km northwest of Knić, have been inhabited for thousands of years. The first fort was built by the Romans, who used it as an observation post of an important Roman road. A medieval Serbian town was located here for several centuries, reaching its peak at the time of Stefan Lazarević. The remains of Borač Fortress are protected as a cultural monument of great importance.
