Belgrade
As a strategic hilltop, on the confluence of the
Danube and Sava rivers, the city was battled over
in 115 wars and razed to the ground 44 times since
the ancient period by countless armies of the East
and West.
In 1521 Belgrade was conquered by the Ottomans
and became the principal city of Ottoman Europe.
The status of Serbian capital was regained only in
1841, after the Serbian revolution.
