Sava Promenade, Kalemegdan Park

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”, from the exhibition catalogue, dr Marko Popovic
