Description: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a breathtaking view of Belgrade, the enchanting capital city of Serbia, nestled at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers in the heart of the Balkans. The image, estimated to have been taken around 1914, offers a captivating glimpse into the city's rich history and cultural heritage. 3. In the foreground, the landing place at Gardoš, a historic fortress and popular tourist destination, is bustling with activity. Boats of various sizes and shapes are moored, their sails furled, as people disembark and mingle on the shore.
