At the beginning of spring, from April 6 until June 1, the "Belgrade Family Days" event takes place on the upper town of the Belgrade fortress Kalemegdan.
On the wide plateau of the fortress, a large number of citizens gather with their children at that time, especially on weekends, when the weather is nice and sunny.
As this is a festival held in the middle of a medieval fortress, the most appropriate theme, which appeals to children and adults alike, is knights and princesses.
A stage has been set up on which actors and actresses perform their performances, but from that stage you can also hear some interesting information and stories about the life of a medieval man.
Tents were set up, as they were at medieval tournaments, and the games were adapted for small children.
There are various old games, targets for shooting with a bow and arrow, and on some stands there are also replicas of medieval weapons and parts of armor.
Considering that I don't have children, and that I went back and forth between these tents without having to take care of anyone, you can guess which tent attracted my attention the most.
The one with the weapon.
Helmets and swords (two-handed and one-handed, as well as one mace), are the weapons that are represented.
Some of the men (big kids🙂) took pictures with those replicas.
A little further from the tents that were set up for the needs of this festival, I looked for some more interesting things.
I photographed "Sahat Kula (Clock Tower)", and in the immediate vicinity one Turbet, tomb of Damad Ali Pasha, a Turkish military commander from the 18th century.
From the plateau of the upper town there is a fantastic view of the confluence of the Sava and the Danube, as well as the area of ​​the lower town.
The walls, on the remains of which tourists are now sitting enjoying the view of the river, were formerly part of an impregnable fortress, built at the end of the 12th century.
Today, these walls and the fortified upper town with the famous "Pobednik(Victory monument)" monument are just a tourist attraction and a place to enjoy and walk.
