The white city,  called so because of the color is the fort on the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers,  was capital of Yugoslavia during its time.   We had an interesting guide who lived thru Tito and explained a lot about life during those years.   We are learning a lot about the Balkan nations now. 

The students here are protesting the corruption of the government.  We saw the signs and some odd the student protestors near the university buildings

The fortress in the large Kalemegdan Park is very near our ship dock.   There is a monument The Victor there overlooking the tivers

We visited the walking streets of the old city

The large orthodox church is fairly new,  having started construction before Tito, but “put on ice” during those years behind fencing,  it was not begun again until years after his death and not finished until a few years ago.   is design is after the z Jakia Sophia in Istanbul.   Much of the money and donations were from the Russian orthodox church

The inside is filled with gold mosaics and quite spectacular

On tomorrow to Croatia,  still part of the Balkan nations.
