Putešestvija

Danas mi dolazi prijatelj Turčin i treba da ga vodim po Beogradu.

Da li je normalno da najmanje poznaješ grad u kome si rođen i u kome si proveo maltene ceo svoj život? Kažu da to nije ništa čudno.

Baš zbog potrebe da upoznam grad počela sam pre nekoliko godina da se viđam sa strancima i da ih šetam po gradu. Tada sam i naučila najviše stvari, s tim što mi se čini da sam ih već sve zaboravila. Ovo će mi biti dobar podsetnik, a možda će nekom i koristiti :) Izvinjavam se unapred, pisaću na engleskom većinu stvari, čisto da mi više uđe u glavu:

1. The city lies on two international waterways, at the confluence of the Sava and Danube river. It lies on Balkan Paninsula, and Pannonian Plain. So, New Belgrade and Zemun lies on Pannonian Plain and older city of the Belgrade on the Balkan Paninsual (To je dobra priča dok stojite kod Pobedika i kažeš kako gleda na Panonsku niziju a zapravo stoji na Balkanskom poluostrvu. Pitanje je dal će uopšte reagovati iznenađujuće na tu priču, ali znam da se barem naši ljudi iznenade)

2. It is the largest city in the territory of the former Yugoslavia.

3. Uglavnom dolaze Turci kod nas pa taman da im predstavimo kako smo dugo godina pokušavali da ih proteramo. Jedan od zapisa "Тhe whole land was rebelled, a six hundert villages arose, everybody pointed his gun against the emperor".

4. Republic Squere. Where it is? The horse is there.

Većina ne zna ko sedi na čuvenom konju na trgu!!! Mihailo Obrenović. A zašto???

Turkish Sultan gave the key of the Belgrade to Mihailo Obrenović. It ment freedom for Seerbs. Than Mihailo entered  the city with his horse.  Also, Mihailo initiated the structure on National Theatar. He belived that the Belgrade in future will become the Balkan Vienna (HA!). On his statue where he is sitting on the horse are the names of 6 cities, that Mihailo has win for Serbs.

5. Kalemegdan

Što bi rekao naš premijer: "Kale... ovaj... znači brdo."

While Turks were in this area, Kalemegdan was forbidden town, where just people convicted to deth were carried.

The Victor is a monument erected after I World War to commemorate the first allied victory of the war. On the left hend of the Victor is a dove which simbolise the ceaper, looker, that dark side doesn't wake, and in case it happend, sword will be used to distroy and win dark side.

6. Cathedral of Saint Sava

The Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Sava, founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church. It is bilt on location where his remain are thought to have been burned.

In II World War German army, and later Partisans, used the unfinished Cahtedral as a parking lot. Later it was used as storage by verious companies. 

To vam je to za prvi dan, a sad let's go to eat some meat :)

Ovo su informacije koje su meni privukle najviše pažnje, a i strancima barem nešto ostane u glavi.

Volela bih da neko još postavi zanimljivosti o gradu Beogradu.
