Belgrade between the Fortress, museums and Savsko Lake

Belgrade Fortress stands on a ridge above the confluence of the Sava and Danube. Belgrade Fortress is divided into the Upper Town and Lower Town. Kalemegdan Park is part of the Belgrade Fortress complex. Roman, Serbian, Hungarian, Ottoman and Austrian architectural styles are visible on the walls of Belgrade Fortress. This means that different historical layers lie side by side within a confined area.
