Kalemegdan Park, Belgrade
Kalemegdan Park is located on a tall plateau at the confluence of the Sava and the Danube Rivers. Historically, the park area was the town field inside the Belgrade Fortress. The area separated the Fortress from the surrounding settlements, creating a buffer zone.
The park is divided into the Great and Little Kalemagdan. Together, the green space has 3,424 individual trees of 80 different species. Most are between 20 and 60 years of age.
Great Kalemegdan Park is on the southern corner of the property. Here you will find a military museum, a museum dedicated to hunting and forestry, and several geometrical promenades. A gondola is planned to connect this part of the park with the neighborhood of U拧膰e across the Sava.
Little Kalemagdan Park is on the east side and borders the urban part of Belgrade. Belgrade Zoo is located here, along with an art pavilion. There is also a Ferris Wheel, installed in 1964, that is one of only six like it left in the world.
The park is also one of the best places to see remnants of the Belgrade Fortress. The Fortress is the core of Old Town Belgrade and was rebuilt numerous times over the centuries. Its history spans from the earliest Roman and Celtic settlements to its present use as home to the museums within the park.
