Belgrade Fortress is one of the top tourist attractions in the capital of Serbia, and it will rock your world with its rich history, natural beauty, and amazing views. You can spend hours exploring its secrets, but it’s important to pay extra close attention so you wouldn’t miss these three gems.

Ružica Church

One of the most Instagram-friendly locations you’ll stumble upon while exploring Belgrade Fortress is this tiny Orthodox church with the ivy-covered façade. It’s a popular wedding venue, also known for its unusual chandeliers made from bullet casings, swords, and cannon parts.

Roman Well

Despite what its name suggests, this well that inspired many myths and legends is not actually of Roman origin, and it’s not even a classic water well. It’s most likely that the Austrians built it to provide water for the army in the 18th century, but their efforts have proven to be futile and the “well” was later used as a dungeon.

Military Museum

If you notice many tanks, howitzers, and armored cars while exploring the Belgrade Fortress, keep on looking. They’re just a part of the outer exhibition of Belgrade’s Military Museum, and you can explore the rest of its impressive collection with over 3,000 items if you step indoors.
