Many guides in Serbia recommend visitors to the country to visit this place. This is the most famous landmark of Serbia – the Belgrade Fortress, repeatedly destroyed and finally restored in the 20th century. The Byzantines, Hungarians, and Bulgarians also owned it. During the Ottoman yoke, the fortress belonged to the Turks. The name of the ancient building (Kalemegdan), built more than 2,000 years ago, is translated from Turkish as “castle square”. The Turks called this place on the banks of the Danube and the Sava “the hill of reflections.” A park has now been laid out on the site of the former military barracks. The unique historical museum complex includes the Kalemegdan park, the Upper and Lower cities. A military museum was also founded here, presenting countless exhibits – various types of weapons, ranging from medieval catapults, crossbows, nuclear cannons and crossbows to modern bombs and rockets. The remains of the Metropolitan Palace, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin, the chapel of the gate of the powder store and many towers have also been preserved here.

Today, the Church of the Holy Savior with its crimson color and its grandeur reminds visitors of the invincibility of the spirit of Christians who gave their lives for the faith and willingly shed their blood for Serbia. Here, under Bishop Nikolai Velimirovich, a temple was built, where, during restoration, a fresco with the image of the martyr Nicholas II was discovered, made fifty years before the official canonization of the murdered Russian Tsar. For several centuries, the monastery has undergone many troubles. Its buildings were constantly looted and burned by the Turks; it was almost destroyed by the Nazis.
