| It spreads between Bulevar oslobođenja and Nebojšina Street. At this place was one of the camps of the insurrectionist army, during the attack on Belgrade in 1806. After the conquest of Belgrade, all killed insurrectionists were buried here. Knez Aleksandar Karađorđević raised a monument here in 1848, with an inscription: "In the glory and honour of the Serb heroes who bravely died for their fatherland in 1806, we raise this monument here". It is, at the same time, the first public monument raised up in Belgrade. The park started to form after the erection of the monument, and it was considerably expanded in 1903 and 1904. Just before World War II, a shelter was built in the park, in which 192 innocent citizens were killed during the German bombing on April 6, 1941. The stone slab at this place stands in memory of that tragic event. A few other monuments have been raised up in this park. |
