Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
POZHAREVATS (also written Passarowitz and Pozarevac) , a town in Servia, situated in the Morava valley, 4 m. E. of the Morava river and 8 m. S. of the Danube. The station for steamers, Dubravitsa, with its custom-
house
 ,
standing
  on the banks of the Danube, forms practically the harbour of Pozharevats. The town has no
special
  industry, but is the
principal
  market of a very extensive and fruitful plain between the rivers Morava, Mlava and Danube. It is the
capital
  of a department bearing the same name, and the seat of a prefecture, a tribunal of justice, a college and several national or normal schools. It has a large modern penitentiary, with a department for political offenders and a prison for women. Two miles to the west, towards Morava, is situated Lubichevo, a model farm and
stud
  belonging to the government. The shady park and flower gardens are a popular resort of the people of Pozharevats. The town is known in the history of
international
  treaties as the place at which the famous peace of Passarowitz between Austria and Turkey was concluded in 1718. Pop. (1900), 12,957.
Lignite is worked at Kostolats, 7 m. N. by E., and' the hills between Pozharevats and Kostolats show many traces of Roman mines. A number of coins, sarcophagi and
inscriptions
  found in the neighbourhood are also Roman.
