As the sun goes down over Belgrade "paints" the images of the medieval fortifications of the city in its own special way:
The building you see on the next picture is the Museum/Gallery of Natural History:
It must be interesting inside but I want to explore the outdoors at the moment. That brings me at Kara膽or膽e's Gate:
In case you wonder Kara膽or膽e was a Serbian hero known for his fight against Ottomans.
The local war museum is hard to miss with all these items exhibited around it:
The view of the vegetation and the river is much more peaceful:
This is the temple of Ruzica:
Which overlooks the church of St. Petka which lies under in front of it:
With a bit of walking though this lovely walkways,
I get the chance to see that church closer from the other side:
That red paint on the roof of this church can embarrass many lipsticks.
Vegetation and stones offer a nice contrast with their shades of green and grey respectively:
This next one is the local Planetarium:
The medieval relics semi covered with vegetation with the cloudy sky as a background attract me more to be honest:
Have you counted how many gates I've seen so far? I've lost count. Here's Charles VI Gate:
This as built in the early-mid 1700s honouring Emperor Charles VI, dedicated to the victory against Ottomans.
No war today which allows the visitor to enjoy a peaceful and pleasant walk around here:
And these massive walls that used to protect back in the day today they offer a nice break from the city's concrete decorated with bits of vegetation:
I'm about to leave the maze of the castle behind following a series of passages:
The medieval (and not so medieval) past is behind me and in front me is the contemporary part of the city of Belgrade which has already impressed me more than I expected.
See you in the next part for more modern stuff 馃檪.
