Abstract

The paper deals with the suburbs of Serbian medieval cities. In the first half of the 15th century, almost all major Serbian cities had their suburbs, often unfortified. They were the centres of economic life and the majority of the urban population lived there. The inhabitants of these cities included numerous artisans – potters, blacksmiths, masons and armourers – who worked to meet the everyday needs of the population and the city. Within fortified suburbs, there were numerous residential buildings for civilians and facilities for storing food, beverages and weapons
