Overview

2,000 years of history in 90 minutes.

Your guides are a historian and an art historian, whose accounts of the Fortress include personally lived experiences, besides the public history.

We take you to the selected vantage points, decode the Fortress' iconic monuments and highlight the decisive moments of its past.

You'll see the big picture of Belgrade and why this city is unique. The historical drama of the fatally strategic location, between the East and the West, unfolds before your eyes.

You'll grasp the border between the Balkans and the Central Europe, that has interested the Romans, the Byzantines, the Ottomans, the Hapsburgs, modern European powers, the USA and USSR. You'll hear how their rivalries shaped Belgrade's destiny.

The panoramic views will show you four different faces of Belgrade, each with own culture, rising above the rivers.

Plus, you'll discover a beautiful church with unique memorial decoration and an exciting military secret from the Cold War.

Belgrade Fortress

You'll be excited to find out why the Noon bell in all churches in Europe is directly related to Belgrade.Which sultan called the Belgrade Fortress his Contemplation hill.  What happened when Nazis bombed Belgrade in 1941.And what happened when there was a Soviet invasion threat in the 1950ies.Guess which movie maker told the press he felt very inspired after getting underground!We start with the ancient Romans and trace the successive powers who fought for this piece of earth, water and sky. Every step takes you past the gates and walls, dungeons and towers. Every sight is a monument and memory of war and peace, life and death, rise and fall of empires and people that left their mark in time.
