[edit] Culture and history
The Hisar, a mountain behind Prokuplje, stands for the town symbol. It is the site of the medieval fortress with still well preserved tower, popularly called the Tower of Jug Bogdan, who was a hero of the Battle of Kosovo.
The St. Prokopije Church, in the town's vicinity, was built in the tenth century, and the Roman church originating from the sixteenth century well illustrates the influence of the Catholic culture, conferred by the Venetian merchants over the fifteenth and sixteenth century.
