(15.05 – 18.06.2009)

Exhibition author: Dr Marko Popovic / Program author: Predrag Djidic / Translation: Dragica Lompar / Design: Dobrila Stevanic /  Production: PE „Belgrade fortress“. Exhibition  was accomplished with the Archaeologic Institut of the Serbian Academy of Science and Art. The exhibition was made possible by the Secretariat for Culture City of Belgrade.

    On 45 big size prints are presented old plans, cartographic and historical sources, extremely important for the study of the Belgrade fortress and the city in general.
“Thanks to its position and its role in European events at the end of the 17th and 18th centuries, Belgrade figures among the cities most often presented on old maps. Up till now more then 450 different maps are known from that period, on which Belgrade fortress and details of its fortifications are most frequently presented, as well as the city on the whole, often with the near surroundings and situations of siege with the distribution of troops.”

Plan of Belgrade Fortress from the first decade of the 18th century with a very precise presentation of the found ramparts and new fortifications which were built according to the project of Andrea Kornar until the signing of the Karlovac Peace Treaty in 1699. On the plan there is also a project of new fortifications done before 1717, which remained unrealized.
