Description
"Belgrade Above the Waters" – a stroll through the city's history, drop by drop.
Water is not just an element – it is a story, a memory, and a witness to the past.
Belgrade, a city that rests on the Sava and Danube rivers, hides 23 smaller rivers, streams, and thousands of springs. Since Roman times, every great conqueror has left their mark by creating aqueducts, and it was precisely the aqueduct that saved thousands of lives when the city fell to the Turks in 1521. year.
On this walk, we follow the traces of Belgrade's fountains and water sources – from Roman springs and Ottoman sebils to the modern fountains that adorn the squares today.
What can you expect?
1. Pašić Square Fountain
2. Terazijska Fountain – a symbol of the modernization of Belgrade and a witness to time
3. Čukur fountain – a place of sorrow and resistance that preserves the memory of difficult days.
4. Delijska fountain – long gone, but not forgotten
5. Roman Hall – where water and archaeology touch everyday life
6. Fountain of Mehmed Pasha Sokolović – a silent monument of Ottoman Belgrade
This tour takes you from Pašić Square through the historical axis of the city and reveals how the fountains have shaped the identity of Belgrade, gathered people, quenched thirst, and preserved memories.
