“Kalemegdan Fortress is located above the confluence of the Sava River and the Danube River in Belgrade, Serbia.”
The geographic claim is supported by the evidence. Authoritative sources place Belgrade Fortress on the high ground above the meeting of the Sava and Danube in Belgrade, and multiple sources use “Kalemegdan” for that same fortress/park complex. The only notable caveat is that formal references more often say “Belgrade Fortress” than “Kalemegdan Fortress.”
“Kalemegdan Fortress in Belgrade, Serbia was rebuilt and expanded by multiple powers including the Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Habsburg Monarchy, and medieval Serbian states.”
Historical evidence consistently shows Belgrade Fortress was reshaped across centuries by Byzantine, medieval Serbian, Ottoman, and Habsburg authorities. The strongest sources support all four as part of the fortress’s layered construction history. The main nuance is that Ottoman-era changes were not always as extensive as later Habsburg rebuilding, but that does not materially change the claim’s core accuracy.
