Evocative panorama from Kalemegdan Fortress with the famous Victor Monument (Pobednik) standing against Belgrade skyline. This bronze statue, work of sculptor Ivan Mestrovic, was erected in 1928 to commemorate Serbia victory in the Balkan Wars and World War I. Sunlight filtering through centuries-old trees illuminates the ancient fortress walls while visitors stroll on this strategic promontory at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. Kalemegdan is Belgrade most beloved park, witness to over 2000 years of history.
