" Kalemegdan Fortress is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Serbian history and an active day out. It is located at the confluence of the River Sava and the Danube, this historical place offers a living journey through Serbia's past. The fortress complex, dating back to the 1st century AD, has witnessed the rise and fall of various empires, including the Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and Austro-Hungarians, each leaving their mark on the structure. You can explore many historical landmarks within the fortress grounds. The Military Museum showcases an impressive collection of century old artifacts, from ancient Roman swords to modern-day military equipment. The Despot's Tower and the Sahat Tower are also highlights, where you can learn more about medieval Serbian architecture and defense mechanisms. Walking through the fortress is not only an educational experience but also a physically engaging one. The Kalemegdan Park surrounds the fortress, offering numerous walking paths shaded by ancient trees. As you walk along these paths, you'll encounter panoramic views of the rivers and the cityscape of Belgrade. The park is also home to various sculptures, monuments, and a zoo. In summary, Kalemegdan Fortress is not just a static historical site but a dynamic space where history and physical activity act together."
