Semlin

Semlin (Hung. Zimony), a frontier town of Hungary, stands on a tongue of land at the junction of the Save and the Danube, on the right bank of the latter, opposite Belgrade. It contains the ruined castle of John Hunyady, who died here. The town is the great seat of the Turco-Austrian transit trade, and the principal quarantine station for travellers from the Balkan states. Pop. 11,836, mostly Servians. See Kinglake's Eothen.
