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.
