   Church of Saint Sava

   One of the largest Orthodox churches in the world, begun in 1935 on the spot where the Ottomans burned the relics of Saint Sava in 1595. War and then communism stopped the work for decades; the interior mosaics, covering fifteen thousand square metres, were completed only in the 2020s.

   Belgrade Fortress

   A fortress on the ridge where the Sava joins the Danube, fought over by Romans, Byzantines, Hungarians, Ottomans and Austrians — the city has been destroyed something like forty times. The upper town's ramparts now hold a park, a military museum and the best view in Belgrade.

   National Museum of Serbia

   The oldest museum in Serbia, founded in 1844, whose greatest object is the Miroslav Gospel of about 1180 — the earliest surviving Serbian illuminated manuscript, shown only in facsimile. The painting collection runs from medieval icons to Serbian modernism.

   Avala Tower

   A television tower of 1965 on Mount Avala, destroyed by NATO bombing in April 1999 and rebuilt by 2010 largely on public donations. At two hundred and five metres it is the tallest structure in the Balkans, and its triangular base is unique among towers.

   House of Flowers

   The grave of Josip Broz Tito and his wife Jovanka, in a glass-walled garden building on the grounds of his Belgrade residence. Relay batons carried to him by young people from all over Yugoslavia each year are displayed nearby, which is a whole political system in one exhibit.

   Bajrakli Mosque

   Built about 1575 and the only one of Belgrade's two hundred and seventy-three Ottoman mosques still standing. It was set on fire in 2004 during riots that followed violence in Kosovo, and has been restored since.

   Kalemegdan Park

   The park laid out on the fortress glacis above the confluence, and the largest in central Belgrade. Meštrović's Victor of 1928, a bronze nude with a sword and an eagle, stands on the rampart — the city thought it too naked for a street and put it out here.

   Nikola Tesla Museum, Belgrade, Serbia

   A museum of 1952 holding Nikola Tesla's papers, instruments and working models, along with his ashes in a gilded sphere. His archive is on the UNESCO Memory of the World register, and the demonstrations of his coils are the reason school groups fill the place.

    Singidunum

    The Celtic and then Roman city on this site, garrisoned by the Fourth Flavian legion from the first century AD. The emperor Jovian was born in it. Its street grid lies under the modern centre, and fragments of the Roman wall survive in the fortress.
