Kalemegdan Citadel
There's been a fort here since Celtic times, but most of the fortress you see looming over the

The largest Orthodox temple currently in use and probably the most monumental building in

built on the Vracar plateau, on the spot where the saint was supposed to have been burnt in
1595 by Turkish Sinan Pasha.
