The prime sight of Belgrade is undoubtedly Kalemegdan Citadel, which combines history and lots of park grounds with the best views over the city and the rivers Sava and Danube.
For some time, the city here was inside the walls of the fortification. It was only later that Belgrade, or the White City, would develop outside the walls of the fortification of Kalemegdan. Nowadays, you can find many different reminders of its rich and long history inside the fortress. The clock tower, built by the Austrians, a mausoleum for a Turkish vizier, a Roman well, many different gates and towers that were all part of the old fortification, remains of a Turkish hammam, but also the 20th century Victor monument and modern art. At the northern side of Kalemegdan, the views over the surrounding areas, the rivers Sava and Danube, are the best you can get. From here, it is possible to walk down the other side; it is only when you are walking at the bottom of Kalemegdan fortress that you realize that the location of the fortress indeed made it difficult to conquer.
