Belgrade is the center of political and cultural life in the country.

The local parks seem to be cared for very well.

Local students on a field trip in Belgrade Fortress.

Belgrade Fortress is the core and the oldest section of the urban area of Belgrade. For centuries the city population was concentrated only within the walls of the fortress, and thus the history of the fortress, until most recent times, equals the history of Belgrade itself.. The first mention of the city is when it was founded in the 3rd century BC by the Celtic tribe of Scordisci, who had defeated tribes that previously lived in and around the fort. The city-fortress was later conquered by the Romans had a fortified camp on a hill at the confluence of the Danube and the Sava rivers.

The Sava and the Danube rivers meet in the distance

This is where the Sava River meets the Danube, contemplative parkland nudges hectic urban sprawl, and old-world culture gives way to new-world nightlife.

Local park and a statue are very restful.

We were in Belgrade the beginning of May as the weather was warming. Numerous outdoor cafes were opening for the summer. Lots of people were out enjoying the warmer weather.

I spotted a location where the Rotary Club meets weekly. Having been a Rotarian for over 40 years I wanted a photo of their local flag. The restaurant thought I was crazy.

Belgrade is a great city to walk around in warm weather.

The church is dedicated to the Saint Nicholas, and today you can find valuable frescoes and paintings
