Belgrade Fortress (Kalemegdan)

Belgrade Fortress (Serbian: Kalemegdan when referring to the fortress and park area) is a multi-layered historic fortress and public park complex sited on a 125-metre-high cliff at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. The site has continuity of occupation and fortification from at least Roman times through Byzantine, medieval Serbian, Ottoman and later Austro-Hungarian periods; it has been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt across centuries. The fortress area includes the Upper and Lower Town and is integrated with Kalemegdan Park, which is described as the largest park and the most important historical monument in Belgrade. The complex functions today as the specific historical core of the city and is among Belgrade's most visited attractions, with open public access and extensive walking routes through fortifications, ramparts and parkland. Legally, it was among the first cultural monuments protected after World War II and was formally declared a Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1979, protected by the Republic of Serbia.
