UNDERGROUND SECRETS OF BELGRADE

25th October 2023 (Wednesday)

THE PROGRAM:
A walk through Belgrade’s underground sites will reveal his most secrets. Belgrade is a city with a rich history and heritage, and a tour of Underground Belgrade is one of the best and most interesting ways to get to know the secrets of this city and its unusual, underground localities, each with a special charm.
Gathering of guests on Kalemegdan in front of the Monument of Gratitude to France at the agreed time.
Passing through the Karađorđe Gate – It got its name in memory of the entry of Karađorđe and the insurgent Serbian army into the fortress at the beginning of 1807. For a long time it was believed that Karađorđe entered the fortress through this gate… Passing through the inner Stambol gate and Sahat Gate. Descending into a large underground bunker from the time of the Informburo – The bunker was built in 1948 due to the need of the country at that time to defend itself against a possible attack by the Soviet Union. The Yugoslav People’s Army decided to build a bunker in a strategically extremely important place, with openings for cannons and anti-tank artillery, but also with all the necessary supporting programs in the event of an attack, including water tanks made of unusual material. We will remind you how much Belgrade has a turbulent history even in peacetime days…
Roman Well – a mysterious building buried in the rocky ground near “Pobednik” („The Victor“) three centuries ago. The Roman well is also called the “navel of the world” and it was believed to be the place from where the mythical hero Orpheus descended to the underworld.
Descending into the underground lagoon of the Great gunpowder warehouse and paying homage to one of the greatest relics of the Christian world, Jonah’s sarcophagus, which is about 1500 years old. Danube slopes and was created during the great Austrian reconstruction of the Belgrade Fortress. Construction lasted only two years. Around this building, in the middle of the 18th century, an extremely strong protective rampart was built. In the first hall, there is a display of Roman stone monuments, stelae, sarcophagi and altars that were collected and brought from numerous sites in Belgrade, Kosmaj and Kostolac over the years.
Departure to the underground lagum in Karađorđeva Street. Today a winery, it once served as a warehouse for river traders who stored goods arriving from the Sava and Danube rivers, and then transported them to Kosančićev venac with the help of an elevator.
