Kalemegdan: Park and Fortress

Kalemegdan

Kalemegdan is largest and most popular park in Belgrade.
It also has big historically-cultural meaning because of famous Belgrade Fortress.

Fortress is old hundreds years and it was important strategic point for medieval Serbia, because it was a strategic place on border with Austria-Hungary.

More than 20 times this fortress was conquered from south slavs by Lyres, Bulgars, Hungarians, Turks, Germans but in the end it was liberated by nobody else, than Serbs.

There are numerous monuments of old artillery, guns, tanks that were used in wars.

On corner of confluence of Sava and Danube the "Winners" statues is located. Staning on that spot gives you panoramic look on Vojodina(Everything norh from Belgrade, great plains).

Park was made in 19th century by will of principality of Serbia.  There are Zoo park, The old Roman well,  and War Museum, all within 700 meters.

This nice place is real picture of our history, entertainment and beauty.

Today u can see young couples walking around, old people playing chess, many tourists taking pictures of pretty much everything. 

This historical complex includes many monuments, old fortress, staute of "The Winner" and a few bars where you can sit to drink a coffee.

View is absolotley amazing, you can see central Europe from it, whole north part of Belgrade city.

History Class - Belgrade 100 years ago and now

City that is bigger and bigger every day!

About 100 ago, Belgrade was small trade center, and capital, with 80,000 inhabitants. Since Serbian population mostly lived in villages, cities couldn't be so big.

Before World war 2, 80% of Serbs lived in villages, after it when communism and heavy industrialism came, 80%  of Serbs moved to cities, so they grew very very fast. So did Belgrade, it practically ate surrounding settlements like Ovcha, Borcha and others.

When Belgrade became Yugoslav capital, factories, trade stations, Nikola Tesla, airport, roads were built.

Migrations to Belgrade from all over Balkans started, mostly from Yugoslavian peripheral areas, like mountains.
Education in all socialistic states was on high level, so was in Belgrade. Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences and Belgrade University are highly prestigious universities. In Belgrade university students from around the world were coming to study.
Atelje 212 (Атеље 212) is a theatre in Belgrade, biggest in whole ex-yu, so you can imagine how cultural level was high.It was funded in 1956.

City soon had about million inhabitants, and it needed more houses and all other sorts of buildings for people to live and for work.
In that moment, starts biggest expansion of Belgrade - building new part of city across the other side of the Sava river - New Belgrade.(Also known as Blocks)
There are over 70 blocks, and last constructions were over in 1947.This is today most populous municipality in city.
Fast development, planned building and of course a lots of people made this part of city so important today.

Today we have many shoppping malls such as "Delta City" and "Usce" where you can find all popular brands like Nike, Adidas, Gucci, Armani, Samsung, Sony, Apple...
These shopping malls are huge, Usce shopping mall for example is on 4 floors and has a part for dinning, entertainment, shopping, car parking and many other features.
