It was first mentioned in 1335 as a Hungarian military fortification, although the exact time of construction is not known, as well as who built it. Byzantines needed fortress to determine the borders in the north, the Hungarians to secure their possessions across the Danube, and the Serbs - because it protected their area from Hungarian intrusion ...

In addition to the fortress are guarded canals which enable navigation on the Danube, because canals avoided cataracts. Its first restoration emerged in the third century and in the early fourth century fortress got two new walls that went down to Danube. During Goths penetration to the Balkans partially burned Diana on 378, after which it was restored as one of the protective imperial fortresses on the Danube protecting from the intrusion of barbarians. But on 443 the Huns again destroyed Diana. As part of the great restoration of Roman Empire and during the reign of Justinian, Diana was restored in the early sixth century. Final collapse of the fortress occurred on the 596 after the Slavic invasion of the Balkan Peninsula.
