Belgrade Fortress

The Belgrade Fortress is perched atop a high ridge overlooking the meeting point of the Danube and Sava rivers. People have resided near the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers since the Neolithic era due to its advantageous defensive location. Then the invaders arrived, first with the Celts and continuing with the Romans, who constructed a fence here, then the Huns and the Goths. Yet the fortifications here were actually pumped up in the 15th century by a Serbian leader. Belgrade Fortress, which takes up a sizable portion of the space, is impressively unaltered. Together with the walls, the designated fortress area has a church, a museum, and a number of well-liked parks.

It is among the most well-known tourist destinations in Belgrade. A total of about 2 million people are thought to visit each year given that admission is free. More than two millennia ago, it encircled the entire city and kept it safe from invaders like the Romans, Huns, and Celts. The slaughter and conflicts, meanwhile, are long in the past, and today all that is left is to enjoy the Fortress for what it is. The Serbian government proposed the Belgrade Fortress as a candidate for the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Make sure to pass through the ancient Roman well and the gate belonging to despot Stefan Lazarevi on your route. From one of the artillery stations, take some Instagram-worthy pictures while taking in the stunning sunset.
