Podgrađe
(Redirected from Podgrađe (disambiguation))
Podgrađe (Serbian Cyrillic: Подграђе; Latin: suburbium) is a Serbo-Croatian place name, a toponym derived from pod ("below") and grad ("town"), when in the Middle Ages "grad" was a term used for a fort, fortress, castle. It was part of wider urban area of a fortress or a castle, and/or a settlement adjacent to it, and can be referred to or translated as a castle town or a market town (in some cases developed from or as inner bailey or outer bailey), as in nomenclature used for urban development in the medieval Europe.
