Today, we got together with our friends from Leipzig who were also traveling to Belgrade. We walked around the Kalemegdan Park, which is a fortress built mostly in the medieval time. There are also parts built earlier in the Roman Period (as early as 385) and later during the Turkish Ottoman Empire (as late a a the mid 1800s). It was built to defend the settlements inside its walls from intruders and enemies. Because of this, parts of it have been destroyed, but much of it is still intact, even after it was bombed in World War II. Here is a picture of us in front of the
Sahat Kula (clock tower) near the main entrance to the fortress, as well as some other pictures of the castle. After our walk, we had lunch at a traditional Balkan restaurant. My dad and I had baklava for dessert.
