Exhibition - Fortresses and remntants of fortified towns in Serbia

Opening
Wednesday, 19 August 2009, at 07,00 pm, on the Sava Promenade at the Belgrade Fortress

“Old fortifications had lost their functions long time ago. Military crews left their bulwarks to ravage of time and to negligence of people. In our time these precious monuments of past have became part of cultural inheritance. Today researchers and preservers want to save these ancient ruins, to reconstruct them and adjust them to the needs of modern man.”  - from the preambule of the catalogue, Marko Popovic PhD
