The capital and largest city of Serbia, located at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers. It serves as the country's political, economic, and cultural center.
From Serbian Beograd, literally meaning 'white city' or 'white fortress,' from 'beo' (white) and 'grad' (city/fortress). The name refers to the white limestone cliffs and fortress walls that have dominated the city's skyline for centuries.
Belgrade has been destroyed and rebuilt over 40 times throughout its history, earning it the nickname 'the city that refuses to die.' The city sits at one of Europe's most strategic locations, where the Pannonian Plain meets the Balkans, making it a coveted prize for empires from Roman to Ottoman to Austro-Hungarian.
