Belgrade Guide
Highlights
Belgrade fortress
One of the most important monument of Belgrade history, one the main military bastion of Belgrade was built on a hill above the Sava and the Danube in I century A.D. (and from the I till XVII century several times destroyed, rebuilt and redesigned). The Belgrade fortress consists of the Upper and the Lower town and the Kalemegdan Park.
This oldest fortress was build as a military camp for the IV Flavius’s legion. Beside fortification, Sigidunum was formed, and later on, at the same place, the Slav city of Belgrade. The destiny of the fortress had always been closely connected to the destiny of the town. This means that all the destruction, fires, bombardments and conquers left their mark no only on the town but also on the fortress itself, so that today one can find Serbian ramparts between roman walls at the bottom and Turkish and Austrian fortifications on top.
