The History
Ostrvo Ada Kale-Ostrvo Tvrđava nalazilo se na par kilometara uzvodno od sadašnje brane HE Đerdap I. Bilo je dugo 1.750 metara i 500 m široko. Predstavljalo je najbitniju stratešku tačku na Đerdapu još od doba Rimljana. Tokom burne istorije menjalo je vlasnike, a poslednji stanovnici su bili većinom Turci, koji su zbog izgradnje HE Đerdap I 1971. godine i potapanja ostrva, preseljeni u svoju maticu a tvrđava je premeštena na rumunsko ostrvo Šimijan nizvodno od ostataka Trajanovog mosta. Posebno je interesantna činjenica da se način života stanovnika ostrva nije puno menjao i da je muslimanski živalj održavao svoje običaje i kulturu kroz kompaktnu zajednicu. Bavili su se manufakturnom proizvodnjom ratluka, preradom duvana, šibica, proizvoda od smokve i maslina. U srpskoj istoriji poznato mesto gde su za vreme I srpskog ustanka 1804. godine bile uhvaćene i pogubljene četiri beogradske dahije. Za vreme Karađorđa, Ada Kale je bilo važan administrativni centar na Dunavu.
PRE IZGRADNJE HIDROELEKTRANE „ĐERDAP” U DUBOKIM VIROVIMA KAZANA MRESTILE SU SE MORUNE I JESETRE I DRUGE IKRONOSNE RIBE KOJE SU DOLAZILE IZ CRNOG MORA. ZBOG IDEALNE ZRELOSTI IKRE OVIH VRSTA RIBE, KLADOVSKI CRNI KAVIJAR JE PO SVOM KVALITETU BIO SVETSKI PRIZNAT BREND. BEFORE THE IRON GATE I WAS BUILT, BELUGAS, STURGEONS, AND OTHER BLACK SEA FISH HAD HAD THEIR SPAWNING GROUNDS IN KAZAN’S WHIRLPOOLS BECAUSE OF THE IDEAL MATURITY OF THEIR FISH EGGS, KLADOVO’S BLACK CAVIAR USED TO BE A WORLD RENOWNED BRAND.
THE ADA KALEH ISLAND The Ada Kaleh Island – The Fortress Island was located few kilometers upstream from where the hydro-electric power plant Iron Gate I stands today. It was 1750 m long, and 500 m wide. It had been one of the most important strategic points since the Roman Age. Throughout its turbulent history, owners often changed. Last residents were mostly Turks, but they had to move out to their motherland because of the hydro-electric power plant Iron Gate I’s construction and flooding of the island, so the fortress was moved to Romanian island Šimijan, downstream of the Trajan's Bridge remains. An interesting fact was that the residents of the island kept their Muslim way of living, their customs and culture due to organized community. They manufactured Turkish delight, refined tobacco, matches, fig and olive by-products. This is also a famous place in Serbian history where the four Dahias from Belgrade had been caught and murdered during The First Serbian Uprising in 1804. During Karadjordje, Ada Kaleh was the Danube important centre of administration. 11
