Memorial of the surrendering of the keys of the Belgrade Fortress (Spomen obeležje

It is located at the place where, in 1867 the Sultan's order was read stating
that the Fortress had to be turned over to prince Mihailo Obrenovic and to the
Serbian Army.
The Belgrade Fortress stands on the hill overlooking the mouth of the river
Sava. It was gradually built, torn down and rebuilt from the first to the 18th
century as a fortified defence complex. Today the Fortress is a specific museum
