Kalemegdan Park
About

Kalemegdan Park in Belgrade is the city’s largest and most iconic green space, enveloping the historic Belgrade Fortress at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. Once a strategic military outpost, the area was transformed into a public park in the late 19th century, blending lush landscapes with centuries-old fortifications. Its name derives from the Turkish words “kale” (fortress) and “megdan” (battlefield), reflecting its martial past. Today, Kalemegdan offers a serene retreat with panoramic river views, tree-lined paths, and cultural landmarks such as the Military Museum, the Cvijeta Zuzorić Art Pavilion, and the Monument of Gratitude to France. Divided into Great and Little Kalemegdan, the park also features sculptures, fountains, a zoo, and recreational areas. As a cultural monument of exceptional importance, Kalemegdan remains a beloved gathering place for locals and visitors alike, embodying Belgrade’s layered history and vibrant public life.

Kalemegdan Park is the largest and most significant park in Belgrade, occupying a prominent plateau at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. It is set atop a 125-meter-high cliff in the heart of the city, forming the green expanse surrounding the historic Belgrade Fortress. The park is divided into Great and Little Kalemegdan, with the Great Park featuring promenades, monuments, and museums such as the Military Museum, while Little Kalemegdan borders the urban center and houses the Belgrade Zoo and the Cvijeta Zuzorić Art Pavilion. Kalemegdan’s location makes it a natural lookout point with sweeping views of the rivers and city, and its proximity to Knez Mihailova Street, Republic Square, and Dorćol places visitors within walking distance of Belgrade’s main shopping, cultural, and historical attractions. The park is a vibrant destination offering a mix of history, art, leisure, and panoramic vistas in the very core of Belgrade.
