In Kalemegdan, the largest park in the Serbian capital, there is the monumental complex of the Belgrade Fortress.
Of what was once one of the mightiest and most important fortresses in Europe, little of its original splendor remains to date.
The mighty walls, ramparts, moats and a few surviving fortifications can give an idea of what the fortress was like in its golden age.
This structure is one of the most important historical buildings in Belgrade, as among its ruins there are traces of Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and Austrian eras.
Divided into High and Low Fortresses, it contains one of Belgrade’s symbols: the Pobednik, the winner in Serbian.
The Pobednik is a monument built to commemorate Serbia’s victory over the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires during the Balkan Wars and World War I.
From the terrace you also have a view of the confluence of the Sava and Danube, two of the most important rivers in Europe.
In the inner courtyard of the Fortress, there is the Military Museum with numerous exhibits.
