Panoramic view of Kalemegdan Fortress inner walls with the Clock Tower (Sahat kula) visible in the background. The mighty stone bastions, built in different eras, show the historical stratification of this fortress that has withstood over one hundred sieges through the centuries. Green lawns inside the walls are now relaxation spots for Belgradians, while historic cannons recall the site military past. The view extends to the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, making evident the strategic position that made Belgrade contested by all empires.
