Fortress in the historical center of Belgrade, a great place for walking for the whole day. The fortress on a hill at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers has stood since the time of the Romans, when the settlement was also called Singidunum. Later, the fortress was in the hands of the Byzantines, Austrians, Ottomans ...The latter gave the name Kalemegdan (from the Turkish words kale (fortress, castle) and meydan (square). The fortress was repeatedly destroyed almost to the ground as a result of the Austrian-Ottoman battles, then during world wars, but each time rebuilt anew.
Of the interesting things inside the fortress: the "Roman" well, the bunker of Joseph Broz Tito, the monument to the Victor, the museum of military equipment, and of course, a gorgeous view of the Danube. Entrance to the fortress is free, it is open around the clock, museums inside Kalemegdan are open until 19:00.
