    Belgrade - just arrived

    29 de setembro de 2017, Sérvia ⋅ 🌬 16 °C

    "Outspoken, adventurous, proud and audacious: Belgrade is by no means a 'pretty' capital, but its gritty exuberance makes it one of the most happening cities in Europe. While it hurtles towards a brighter future, its chaotic past unfolds before your eyes: socialist blocks are squeezed between art nouveau masterpieces, and remnants of the Habsburg legacy contrast with Ottoman relics. This is where the Sava River meets the Danube, contemplative parkland nudges hectic urban sprawl, and old-world culture gives way to new-world nightlife." - Lonely PlanetLeia mais

    Oblicev Venac

    3 de outubro de 2017, Sérvia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Obilićev Venac is without a doubt one of the old and valuable city monument areas in Belgrade. Connected to Knez Mihailova Street, Kosančićev Venac and the Belgrade Fortress, it forms essentially the only material testimony to the continuity of the city of Belgrade, from its oldest Roman times to today.

    In Ancient times the area of the street, due to the specific layout of the terrain, used the highest point as the communication route, namely the ridge that slopes gently downwards towards the Sava riverbank. Thus in later historical times the geographical location of the ridge was the main factor behind the shaping and purpose of Obilićev Venac. The street was certainly set out as far back as the Roman times, when the center of the Singidunum settlement was already located in Knez Mihailova Street. Under the onslaught of Barbarians the area of Obilićev Venac was devastated. The agony of the street's ruination continued throughout the Middle Ages and culminated in the street disappearing from the urban map of Belgrade and turning into a green field    Leia mais

    Belgrade on Water- what Savamala will look like in 30 years.Wonderful mural on the Brankov Most support pier.Time for lunch, calamari with tzatziki....View of the Sava upstream...and downstream.

    Savamala

    3 de outubro de 2017, Sérvia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Savamala is located south of the Kalemegdan fortress and the neighborhood of Kosančićev Venac, and stretches along the right bank of the Sava river. Its northern section belongs to the municipality of Stari Grad (Old Town), while central and southern sections belong to the municipality of Savski Venac. The central street in the neighborhood is Karađorđeva.

    Originally, the entire western section (Terazije slopes) of today's city center was called Savamala, roughly bounded by the modern streets and squares of Terazije, King Milan's, Slavija, Nemanjina and Prince Miloš'. The entire area was known as Zapadni Vračar, but that name completely disappeared from usage, while as Savamala today is considered only a section along the Karađorđeva street.    Leia mais

    One of only 3 surviving concrete ships worldwide.
    Concrete ship "SIP" is one of the two remaining concrete ships in Europe, made in a series of 50 copies in 1943 in Germany, under the direct order of Hitler. It was designed to transport wounded people from the Baltic Sea to Germany. Being concrete it was immune to floating mines which were magnetised and therefore attracted to metal hulls.Leia mais

    Munich

    21 de dezembro de 2017, Alemanha ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C

    The name of the city is derived from the Old/Middle High German term Munichen, meaning "by the monks". It derives from the monks of the Benedictine order, who ran a monastery at the place that was later to become the Old Town of Munich; hence the monk depicted on the city's coat of arms. Munich was first mentioned in 1158. Catholic Munich strongly resisted the Counter-Reformation and was a political point of divergence during the resulting Thirty Years' War, but remained physically untouched despite an occupation by the Protestant Swedes.[8][citation needed] Once Bavaria was established as a sovereign kingdom in 1806, it became a major European centre of arts, architecture, culture and science.Leia mais
