A walk in the Tasmajdan park in Belgrade

I didn't set an alarm for Sunday morning, so I got up really late. I lost the whole morning.
I thought I would take advantage of the day and go somewhere outside the city for a more serious walk, but... all I had to do was take a walk in one of the city parks and drink a coffee in a nearby cafe.
I decided on a park nearby. Since it is a park with a long history, in addition to the pictures, I will mention some historical facts.
How much history does that park have, there will be another post about it later.

The name of the park Tasmajdan is derived from the Turkish name for a quarry. Most of the pre-war buildings in Belgrade were built with stone quarried here. In the catacombs created after the extraction of stone blocks, there were ammunition warehouses and military warehouses for a long time, and they also served as shelters for the people and wounded soldiers during the bombings in World War I and II.
At the Tasmajdan quarry, stone extraction has been recorded since Roman times. Many of the stone blocks incorporated into the buildings and temples of the Roman constructions of Singidunum (ancient name for Belgrade) come from Tasmajdan.
There are preserved tombstones from Roman times that come from stone from this quarry.

According to old records, here was the place where the Turks burned the relics of Saint Sava in 1594.
During the first Serbian rebellion against the Turks, in 1806, Karadjordje camped here.
After the Second Serbian rebellion, the old Serbian cemetery was moved to Tasmajdan and remained there until 1888, when it was moved to the New Cemetery.
In 1835, the church of St. Marko was built, which was destroyed during the bombing of Belgrade on April 6, 1941, and rebuilt again after the end of World War II.

In 1909, the first Seismological station was built in Tašmajdan, which still exists today.

After the Second World War, a park was arranged on the upper plateau, and a stadium was built in the area of ​​the quarry.

Open and closed swimming pools have been built near the park.

After 2000, a fountain was built in the park with donations from Azerbaijan, and busts of presidents were placed.
