The place where "there is a go" Belgrade, the Belgrade Fortress occupies the top of a 125-meter hill at the confluence of the Sava and the Danube. The territory inside the fortress walls is divided into two parts - the Lower and Upper Town, each of which is literally crammed with monuments: here are the ruins of the Roman settlement, and the remains of the Byzantine castle, and a reminder of the true purpose of the fortress - artillery grounds, as well as monasteries, churches and outbuildings .

The main entrance to the Belgrade Fortress is through the Istanbul Gate, built, as the name suggests, by the Turks in the late 18th century. In total, 12 gates lead to the citadel, to which wooden bridges stretched over a defensive ring ditch. Pay attention to the five massive towers, the most interesting of which is the Clock Tower. But the other two towers of the 15th century, with the names of the name "Afraid" and "Nebojsia", alas, have not survived.

Most of the architectural structures inside belong to the 18th century, the remaining part of the interior is occupied by the magnificent Kalemegdan landscape park (from "kale" - fortress, "Megdan" - a field), where you can just enjoy a walk in the fresh air and relax in one of the many pretty cafes. Still worth a visit is the two ancient churches - St. Petka with a massive squat dome and Ruzhica, colorfully covered with ivy, and the children will like the nearby zoo in Belgrade.

Located in front of Istanbul Gate, the Military Museum presents over 30 thousand artifacts - it's archaeological Skye collection, weapons assembly, banners and awards, military uniforms, dedicated selfless cause of paintings and photographs. Other museums on the territory of the fortress: Museum of Natural History, Institute for the Preservation of Belgrade Monuments, National Observatory.
