At the confluence of two great rivers – the Danube and the Sava, Belgrade has been at a crossroads of major trade routes for centuries and a meeting place for the civilisations of the East and the West. The permeation of various cultural influences over several millennia has shaped not only the architecture of the city and its urban character and the overall cultural and social life, but also clothing, cuisine, national folklore, and music. From the early Middle Ages to the present day, the inhabitants of Belgrade have often been forced by political and war circumstances to rebuild their city repeatedly on its old foundations. Get acquainted with the most important historical events and personalities that gave Belgrade its present appearance.
